gmake seems to print the wrong error message.
seph@seph:/home/ops/dns$ make --version
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i586-pc-linux-gnu
the relevent lines of my make file:
ZONES=zone-masters/foo.com zone-masters/bar.com
zone-masters/%: zone-pieces/%
./bin/check-zones.pl < $<
cp $< $@
zone-files/%.in-addr.arpa: $(ZONES)
./bin/gen-zones.pl -r $* $^ > $@
zone-files/10.in-addr.arpa depends on $(ZONES), each of which is a
file in zone-masters, which depends on zone-pieces. make does not know
how to create files in zone-pieces.
if something is missing from zone-pieces, such that it can't be built
in zone-masters, and prevents zone-files/10.in-addr.arpa from being
built, I expect make to tell me it doesn't know how to make the bit in
zone-pieces, instead it tells me:
seph@seph:/home/ops/dns$ make zone-files/10.in-addr.arpa
make: *** No rule to make target `zone-files/10.in-addr.arpa'. Stop.
this is wrong.
sorry for the confusing bug report. I can probably send you a tar ball
with an example, if you'd rather.
