Hi! On Automake master (baf8a1c22acce0908), t/subobj11a.sh fails on MSYS/MSVC (depmode=msvc7msys), like this:
+ make quux src/.deps/foo.Po:1: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. It appears that the generated foo.Po is broken. Adding a cat "$depdir"/foo.Po just before the $MAKE quux invocation reveals that the originally generated foo.Po has this single line content: src/foo.obj : \ Notice the trailing backslash. When the testcase then adds a line of its own, the trailing backslash makes it blow up. Cheers, Peter
