Something else must be going on.
I can't reproduce your problem, though; maybe you can provide an
example.
Here is the example I used:
$ cat Makefile
%.moc.cpp: %.h ; cp $< $@
%.ui.h: %.ui ; cp $< $@
%.ui.cpp: %.ui.h ; cp $< $@
all: foo.ui.o foo.ui.moc.o
$ touch foo.ui
$ make
make: Circular foo.ui <- foo.ui.o dependency dropped.
cp foo.ui foo.ui.h
cp foo.ui.h foo.ui.cpp
g++ -c -o foo.ui.o foo.ui.cpp
cp foo.ui.h foo.ui.moc.cpp
g++ -c -o foo.ui.moc.o foo.ui.moc.cpp
rm foo.ui.cpp foo.ui.h foo.ui.moc.cpp
As best as I can tell, this is what you want to do and works correctly.
This was GNU make 3.79.1.
I added the "%: %.o" rule, then I got a different circular dependency
message, building foo.ui from foo.ui.cpp. So I added a "%: %.cpp" as
well, then I got no circular dependency messages.
