I'm late for bed and too sleepy, I can easily be wrong. After a quick compare
with one simple makefile of mine, I think you have an unneeded space before the
colon... Dunno. :-?


Huh? Why is it looking for a target to make tst_isolv.c'? Why doesn't it
just do what I told it to and use 'gcc -c tst_isolv.c'?

I saw that error in my first makefiles, too, years ago, but I don't remember why
it was. If it is as simple as the space... tell me :-)

Ah... you be sleepy my friend :p

Unless the GNU make manual is wrong, the extra space is fine. I removed the
additional space before the colon anyway - no change. Go get some rest. This
will certainly wait until Carlos is well rested :-)
