Hello,
I have a problem with pattern rules. I simplified my Makefile and got
the following:
.PHONY: all create
all: create file.out
create:
touch file.ext
%.out : %.ext
mv file.ext file.out
After invoking make I get "make: *** No rule to make target `file.out',
needed by `all'. Stop." Then when I invoke make for the second time
everything seems to work just fine.
As I understand it the prerequisite "file.out" should be matched with
the pattern "%.out" and the stem % should then be replaced by "file"
making the "%.ext" prerequisite look: "file.ext". The file in turn was
already created by the "create" rule. However, it does not work.
Please, can someone help solve this problem?
