Hi, busybox is triggering a bug in make-3.81rc1. This bug is at least also existing in make-3.81beta4 (from debian).
current busybox-svn does provoke this with make-3.81beta4, 3.81rc1 and cvs-HEAD: make: *** No rule to make target `/scratch/src/busybox/e2fsprogs/blkid/blkid/blkid_getsize.c', needed by `/scratch/obj/bb4/e2fsprogs/blkid/blkid_getsize.o'. Stop. Attached is a small testcase which works as expected with make-3.80: /tmp/m/obj$ make --version GNU Make 3.80 /tmp/m/obj$ make -f ../src/Makefile mkdir -p /tmp/m/obj/dir cc -c -o /tmp/m/obj/dir/a.o /tmp/m/src/dir/a.c cc -c -o /tmp/m/obj/dir/b.o /tmp/m/src/dir/b.c ar cru /tmp/m/obj/my.a /tmp/m/obj/dir/a.o /tmp/m/obj/dir/b.o but fails with e.g. make from cvs: /tmp/m/obj$ rm -rf *.a dir /tmp/m/obj$ make --version GNU Make 3.81rc1 /tmp/m/obj$ make -f ../src/Makefile make: *** No rule to make target `/tmp/m/src/dir/dir/a.c', needed by `/tmp/m/obj/dir/a.o'. Stop. Is this a real bug or a user error? PS: references to the same bug http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-March/018910.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00018.html
