Details:
Example:
# Tiny example makefile.
#
% cat Makefile
ArabidopsisMPSS.ind: arabidopsis.fasta
cp $? ArabidopsisMPSS.ind
# This works, target is not there, so it is really out of date
#
% make --always-make
cp arabidopsis.fasta ArabidopsisMPSS.ind
# This fails, the target is not really out of date, but the
# option is supposed to force it to be made again.
#
% make --always-make
cp ArabidopsisMPSS.ind
cp: missing destination file operand after `ArabidopsisMPSS.ind'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
make: *** [ArabidopsisMPSS.ind] Error 1
