Because you've not provided a rule to build downloads/index.html. This pattern: nm> downloads/%: http//zork.net/% doesn't do what you think it does: declaring a pattern rule without a command isn't like creating an explicit rule without a command. See the GNU make manual, section "Canceling Implicit Rules". nm> http//%: nm> cd downloads nm> wget http://$* nm> .PHONY: http//% This .PHONY also doesn't mean anything. nm> .DEFAULT: downloads/index.html Try something like: GET = downloads/index.html http//%: ... .PHONY: all all: $(GET:%=http//zork.net/%) maybe. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
