I posted this topic at,

http://gnu-make.2324884.n4.nabble.com
http://gnu-make.2324884.n4.nabble.com/can-t-always-get-make-to-auto-create-build-directory-tp17226.html

because that is the site that was returned by my search on "gnu make help forum". 
Like other programming forums I have posted in, I wrapped the text from my make file 
and the output from my shell in [code] tags, as is usually requested on programming 
forums. When I post a message to a forum from a browser, I generally expect that it 
will be viewed and responded to in a browser. Is this not how internet help forums 
typically work?

Apparently the forum I posted to forwards posts to a mailing list. For some reason, 
everything I wrapped in code tags was omitted from the message on the mailing list. I 
don't know where in the process this happened. It doesn't make much sense for nabble 
to support formatting in their interface that is not supported by the mailing lists 
that they send to, but I guess that is what happened.

I can re-send the message as a plain text email if users really don't want to go to 
nabble.com to see what I posted. Is nabble not considered a safe site?
