# Suspected bug in GNU Make version 3.45.
# "make all" fails with the message:
# gmake: *** No way to make target `foo.c'.  Stop.
# I think it should succeed as it does when using Sun make.
# John D. Ramsdell -- June 1989.
# Note the use of "::"!  Obviously, this example does not call
# for the use of "::", but it is derived from one that does.

all:	foo
	foo
	rm foo foo.c

foo.c::
	echo 'main(){ printf("Hello world.\n"); return 0; }' > $@
