I'm at a loss on this problem. Can someone suggest what to try next?
Thanks,

Subject: Problem making target when prerequisite is newer than target
I'm having a problem where a target is not remade even though its
prerequisite is newer:
Successfully remade target file `confRoutine.o'.
Finished prerequisites of target file
`/home/cmvcbld/cmvcCS1.8-006/src/lib/tools.a'.
Prerequisite `confRoutine.o' is newer than target
`/home/cmvcbld/cmvcCS1.8-006/src/lib/tools.a'.
No need to remake target
`/home/cmvcbld/cmvcCS1.8-006/src/lib/tools.a'.
The rule used to build the target is
$(LIB) dummy.a: $(MEMBERS)
ar rv $@ $?
$(RANLIB) $@
where
LIB = $(TOP)/src/lib/tools.a
TOP = /home/cmvcbld/cmvcCS1.8-006
MEMBERS = confRoutine.o
RANLIB = ranlib
I'm running GNU make 3.79.1 under SuSE Linux 7.0 on a Pentium PC. I also
have the same problem with GNU make 3.77. I'd appreciate any help on
figuring out why the target is not being remade. Could this possibly be a
bug in GNU make?
Thanks,
