Although 'dmake' has no problems with empty rules (i.e. w/o recipes)
in general, it complains about the DBD-ODBC-1.05 Makefile (WinNT,
Borland):
dmake.exe: Error -- Don't know how to make `config'
I satisfied 'dmake' with a '$(NOECHO) $(NOOP)' (see attached patch).
The same problem occurred in DBI-1.25:
<http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2002-06/msg00175.html>
and is now fixed:
