.PHONY: all all: /tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk
/tmp/yapn/install/%.mk: /tmp/yapn/src/%.mk | /tmp/yapn/install/.
cp $(<) $(@).PRECIOUS: %/.
%/.:
mkdir -p $(@)Here's the output:
$ gmake -npqr | grep GNUaoeu.mk all: /tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk /tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk: /tmp/yapn/src/GNUaoeu.mk | /tmp/yapn/install/. /tmp/yapn/src/GNUaoeu.mk: $ gmake mkdir -p /tmp/yapn/install/. cp /tmp/yapn/src/GNUaoeu.mk /tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk
I rechecked the docs and couldn't find anything that describes this, along with the below, behaviour. Can someone confirm or deny that this is a bug, please?
Thanks, Noel

The following makefile works perfectly:
.PHONY: all all: ../install/GNUaoeu.mk
../install/%.mk: ../build/%.mk | ../install/. cp $(<) $(@)
../build/%.mk: ../src/%.mk | ../build/. cp $(<) $(@)
.PRECIOUS: %/. %/.: mkdir -p $(@)
It's output is:
$ gmake -npqr | grep GNUaoeu.mk all: ../install/GNUaoeu.mk ../install/GNUaoeu.mk: ../build/GNUaoeu.mk | ../install/. ../build/GNUaoeu.mk: ../src/GNUaoeu.mk | ../build/. ../src/GNUaoeu.mk: $ gmake mkdir -p ../build/. cp ../src/GNUaoeu.mk ../build/GNUaoeu.mk mkdir -p ../install/. cp ../build/GNUaoeu.mk ../install/GNUaoeu.mk rm ../build/GNUaoeu.mk
But if I start using absolute paths, things stop working:
.PHONY: all all: /tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk
/tmp/yapn/install/%.mk: /tmp/yapn/build/%.mk | /tmp/yapn/install/. cp $(<) $(@)
/tmp/yapn/build/%.mk: /tmp/yapn/src/%.mk | /tmp/yapn/build/. cp $(<) $(@)
.PRECIOUS: %/. %/.: mkdir -p $(@)
$ gmake -npqr | grep GNUaoeu.mk
gmake: *** No rule to make target `/tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk', needed by `all'. Stop.
all: /tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk
/tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk:
$ gmake
gmake: *** No rule to make target `/tmp/yapn/install/GNUaoeu.mk', needed by `all'. Stop.
IIRC, there's special treatment for targets that start with '/'. Can someone point me to where in the docs it talks about this, please?
Thanks, Noel
