Using this makefile:
.PHONY: all
all: lib.a( a.o)
(%.o): %.o
@echo $@ $<make 3.81 gives what I would expect: lib.a a.o make 3.82, with the corrections for bug #30612, gives: make: *** No rule to make target `lib.a()', needed by `all'. Stop. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
