Re: directory search fails!

b. If the target does need to be rebuilt (is out-of-date), the
pathname found during
directory search is thrown away, and the target is rebuilt using the file name
specified in the makefile. In short, if make must rebuild, then the
target is rebuilt
locally, not in the directory found via directory search.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a target is found by directory search and needs to be rebuilt and
updated, that target seems to be updated at the same directory found
by directory search algorithm. So why the manual says:
"not in the directory found via directory search". I wonder if Paul
can write an example about the second situation.
Wish you the best
