I don't understand why. Sorry to harp on this small point, but > you've verified that the build fails without? Is it perhaps due to that > "$(MAKE_DIRS)" order-only-prerequisite? But nat6to4 on its own did not > need this. I tried quite a bit of permutation (all others failing) before selecting this one (shame on me, with a stackoverflow hint [!!!]). But I finally found the relevant documentation reference: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Static-Pattern A simpler wildcard rule would not be enough, as the already existing wildcard used to build plain c files will take precedence. nat6to4 did not need this fancy syntax, as it was a simple, single target single pre-req rule - that takes precedence on the mentioned wildcard. Please let me know if the above clarifies a bit the scenario. Cheers, Paolo
