Hi Paul,
Below is what make outputs when I run with -d option.
I am not sure what this really means. But am surprised that at the message
that says "no implicit rule found for dir1/print2dir1.d" since a pattern
rule to generate .d from .c is defined in the make file ..
Am I missing some VPATH definition or position of the implicit rule
Trying implicit prerequisite `dir1/print2dir1.d;.sh'.

Typically you'll get an error like that if you don't have a
dir1/print2dir1.c file, so make can't use the implicit rule you show
above. However, running make with the -d option will get you more
details about exactly what make is looking for and why it can't rebuild.
