The top of my Makefile is: srcdir = . top_srcdir = . 'make' is designed only to be run from the top directory of the tree, not subdirectories. But your example makes no sense: there is nothing to do for 'device-mapper' in 'doc', and it works for me anyway, both with -C and using the alternative internal 'dot' target directly. $ make -C doc device-mapper make: Entering directory `/d/LVM2/doc' make: Nothing to be done for `device-mapper'. make: Leaving directory `/d/LVM2/doc' $ make doc.device-mapper make -C doc device-mapper make[1]: Entering directory `/d/LVM2/doc' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `device-mapper'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/LVM2/doc' Alasdair _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
