Unlike makefiles explicitly requested with ‘-f’ or ‘--file’ options, make is not certain that these makefiles should exist. However, if a default makefile does not exist but can be created by running make rules, you probably want the rules to be run so that the makefile can be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suppose if i do not have any makefile at the working directory and i run `make` command. The manual says this command will create a makefile by running make rules! When there is no makefile, where will be those make rules? Meanwhile in my Fedora box I get the following error by running make without makefiles: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
