I'm trying to add a new utility to the $(TOP)/ghc/utils folder. The utility has a make file, but I can't seem to get it to play nice with GHC's build system.  The error I receive is "No rule to make target...". Here's a simple test environment that demonstrates the problem: --------------- 1. Create a new folder called $(TOP)/ghc/utils/testmake. 2. In the 'testmake' folder, create a file named "Makefile" with this content: dir = utils/testmake TOP = ../.. include $(TOP)/mk/sub-makefile.mk 3. In the 'testmake' folder, create a file named "ghc.mk" with this content (NOTE: My email app may have replaced the tab character before "@echo" with spaces.): $(eval $(call all-target,utils/testmake,utils/testmake/dummy_target)) utils/testmake/dummy_target:     @echo Hello world! ---------------- Running make results in a "No rule to make target" error: $ make make -C ../.. all_utils/testmake make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ctimmons/ghc' ===--- building phase 0 make --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=0 phase_0_builds make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'phase_0_builds'. ===--- building phase 1 make --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=1 phase_1_builds make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'phase_1_builds'. ===--- building final phase make --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=final all_utils/testmake make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'all_utils/testmake'.  Stop. make[1]: *** [Makefile:127: all_utils/testmake] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ctimmons/ghc' make: *** [../../mk/sub-makefile.mk:50: all] Error 2 However, running ghc.mk directly from the utils/testmake folder does not result in an error: $ make -C ../.. -f utils/testmake/ghc.mk make: Entering directory '/home/ctimmons/ghc' Hello world! make: Leaving directory '/home/ctimmons/ghc' What am I not understanding? Thanks. Chris
