gnu make : doesn't understand why my implicit is never found

I'm trying to compile cobol sources using my own implicit rule without success.

Context :

  1. GNU make 3.81 on AIX
  2. Cobol source files are located in a source directory, while the compiled files are located to another one
  3. Cobol source file extension is .cbl, compiled file have no extension i.e AZ0001.cbl becomes AZ0001 when compiled

So here is my Makefile:

COBFLAGS=-g -qTEST -q"SPILL(32648)" -q64 -q"WSCLEAR(32)" -qNOSEQ -qLIST -qNUMBER -qSSRANGE -q"LINECOUNT(0)"
SRCDIR=../../ai_cobol/src/main/cbl/lib
CPYDIR=../../ai_cobol/src/main/cpy
TMPCBL=/tmp/tmpcbl

vpath %.cbl $(SRCDIR)

SOURCES = $(wildcard $(SRCDIR)/*.cbl)
CIBLES = $(notdir $(SOURCES))

.SUFFIXES: .cbl

% : %.cbl
        cob2 $(COBFLAGS) -I$(CPYDIR) $< $(ZZDEBUG)

all: init todo

init:
        rm -rf $(TMPCBL) && mkdir -p $(TMPCBL)

todo: $(CIBLES)
        echo ""

Launching Gmake never builts my cobol source files. However, debug output shows that gmake finds them:

So I don't understand whare is the problem.....

Solution

  • Your 'CIBLES' contains the names of the source-files; try this change:

    old: CIBLES = $(notdir $(SOURCES))
new: CIBLES = $(basename $(notdir $(SOURCES)))
