Hello, make version 3.78.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.7) and 3.79.1 (mips-sgi-irix6.2) and 3.79.1 (i686-pc-cygwin)
Consider the makefile: #------------------------------------------ -include aaa sinclude bbb .DEFAULT: @echo "target: $@" #------------------------------------------ and the results: target: bbb target: aaa gmake: *** No targets. Stop. How can it be avoided that the rule with the special target .DEFAULT is applied when trying to remade not existent include-files? Must "empty rules" be specified for each include- file which may exist or not?
