Re: Why make complains though implicit rule is present ..

[sharan basappa]

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'.
 Looking for a rule with intermediate file `dir1/print2dir1.d;.sh'.
  Avoiding implicit rule recursion.
  Trying pattern rule with stem `print2dir1.d;.sh'.
