Apparently gnu make does not allow the target name to start with a
period, such as:
../bin/a: a.c
gcc a.c -o ../bin/a
No warning or error message is given and this rule is simply ignored.
Is there any restriction on the target file name? The texinfo file
doesn't seem to mention anything about this. Standard unix's make
handles this correctly (at least in the way I want it to)?
Thanks,
Wilson Ho
