Hello,
I propose a patch to relax requirements to the make output. Currently,
when the target doesn't exist, makefile.pm expects string like:
make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop.
However, if the Makefile includes autogenerated parts (as it is the case
with Jonathan Schleifer's buildsys.mk), make responds differently:
Makefile:4: buildsys.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'buildsys.mk'. Stop.
Even if I change include to -include here, it won't really help as
'clean' target is defined in buildsys.mk which isn't yet generated, or
already removed by make distclean.
This is why I propose to remove check for the target name:
==> makefile.pm.diff <==
