Re: [Gimp-docs] "make" broken?

["Ulf-D. Ehlert" <ulf wogdog site>]

I can't reproduce it (I tried it with "git archive" instead of
"git clone", but this shouldn't make a difference).  Both make-3.81 and
make-3.82 worked fine.

Which command did you try? Just "make"?

Does "make --debug" give some useful information?
Does it work with "make -r"?

Do you get the same result with the attached Makefile?
