I have recently installed GNUstep binaries with Synaptic Package Manager
on my Ubuntu system, and subsequently started to study the Base
Programming Manual, where I came across the following:


        
        ________________________________________________________________
        
        Now create the makefile, again using your favourite text editor,
        and save it in the same project directory with the filename
        GNUmakefile.
        
                
                include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
                TOOL_NAME = LogTest
                LogTest_OBJC_FILES = source.m
                include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make
                
        
        If you look at the makefile above you will notice the two lines
        that tell the make utility to build a tool with the filename
        LogTest from the Objective-C source file source.m. You could
        copy and modify this makefile for later projects you may have:
        just change the tool name and list the new source files.
        
        ________________________________________________________________
        


The trouble is that changing the line {{ TOOL_NAME = LogTest }} to
something else, make does not work. I get the following: 


        $ make
        This is gnustep-make 2.0.2. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help'
        for help.
        Making all for tool WriteStr2File...
        Linking tool WriteStr2File ...
        /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In
        function `_start':
        (.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        make[1]: *** [obj/WriteStr2File] Error 1
        make: *** [WriteStr2File.all.tool.variables] Error 2
        i...@kosi:~/work/prgming/obj-c/projs/bp02/wr2file 
        $ 


It looks as if certain names like {{ LogTest, simple, ...}} were
pre-compiled into GNUstep make. Is this a known undocumented problem, or
will building GNUstep Make from source solve this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Torli
