out of curiosity, when i read that "A vpath pattern is a string
containing a `%' character.", i thought, is it allowed to contain more
than a single '%' character, so i tested it.
apparently, a pattern with more than one '%' is not acceptable, but you
don't find out about this until you actually try to use it in a rule.
wouldn't it make more sense to immediately flag that vpath directive as
being invalid?
rday
p.s. the actual error was
make: *** No rule to make target `jffs2_fs_i.h', needed by `t1'. Stop.
when i was trying to match the pattern 'jffs%fs%.h'. if it weren't for
the fact that i was *explicitly* testing to see what happened in that
case, i might have been confused for a while trying to track down what had
happened.
