Hi,
I have justed started learning make by reading the reference manual by rms et. 
al.
My makefile looks like this,

default: ttt Make1 makefile
    tar cvf address@hidden $^


When I do,
$ make -f Make2
tar cvf default.tar ttt Make1 makefile
ttt
Make1
makefile

This I get each time, even when none of the prerequistes have been modified. 
Why?
I expected tar to be executed only in case either ttt, makefile or Make1 change.

Can someone please explain?

With warm regards,
Payal
