Can anyone tell me what is the problem with my code?
1. You write $MAKE, $INSTALL in the code, but GNU Make requires ()
around the name of the variable otherwise it's just going to use the
first letter as the variable name (e.g. $MAKE is the value of $M
followed by AKE). For those you need to write $(MAKE) and $(INSTALL)
2. You say "INSTALL command is getting executed even though the lib.a
> is upto date". What is TARGET? It is TARGET that determines
whether that rule gets run. If TARGET does not exist, or if TARGET is
older than $(DEST)/lib.a then it's going to call the recursive $(MAKE)
on Makefile.bld.
3. Why can't you have the INSTALL command in Makefile?
4. I think the problem here is that you aren't being clear with the
target names. e.g. what is the target name of the installer? I assume
it's not LIB?
