I hv make version 3.78.1 on NT.
I found two problems. The attached files are just for the first problem
 
1) make reports "nothing to make" even though the target has changed. Same test works fine on Solaris.
I am attaching a small test Makefile with some test files.
First time through make will create the .out files (by touch.exe). Now open up aaa.txt and edit and save it. then try make again. It would report nothing to make.
 
2) This problem occurs both in NT and Solaris. If the target is a directory in your present working directory then make will always report "xyz is up to date"!.
E.g. in the makefile "util" is a target in a multi-target rule. Also there is a directory called util in the cwd.
 
##################
xyz util abc :
    do-something
 
##################
 
Then the command
    make util
 
would report "util is up to date".
 
Pl. let me know if there is a fix already available for this. t would really appreciate if I could get a fix soon.
 
Thanks,
Mohan
