Multi-arch builds and the -n option

[Sankaranarayanan K V]

Hi,

I was trying out the example referred to from 

http://paulandlesley.org/gmake/multi-arch.html

and available as:

http://paulandlesley.org/gmake/multi-example.tar.gz

I am using GNU make 3.79.1 on a Solaris 2.6.

'gmake -n' gives errors. Why is this so?

Output below:

$ gmake -n
[ -d _common ] || mkdir -p _common
gmake --no-print-directory -C _common -f 
/users/sankar/BACKUP/work/learning/make/paul/example/Makefile 
SRCDIR=/users/sankar/BACKUP/work/learning/make/paul/example 
sed 's/@VERSION@/1.0/g' 
/users/sankar/BACKUP/work/learning/make/paul/example/version.c.in > version.c
:
[ -d _SunOS ] || mkdir -p _SunOS
gmake --no-print-directory -C _SunOS -f 
/users/sankar/BACKUP/work/learning/make/paul/example/Makefile 
SRCDIR=/users/sankar/BACKUP/work/learning/make/paul/example 
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `version', needed by `all'.  Stop.
gmake: *** [_SunOS] Error 2

Regards
Sankar
