The makefile has the following : ex2: ex1.c gcc ex1.c -o ex2 and nothing else. When I run >>make makefile I always get the same message, namely: make: Nothing to be done for `makefile'. This occurs even when I edit the file, or use additional options such as -W, or when I use 'touch'. When I run the command manually (gcc ex1.c -o ex2) it compiles fine. Could somebody please tell me why this might be the case?
