make problem with targets that have paths in it.

[Marcus Brinkmann <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>]

Hello all!

I get with different make files and different sources error messages like
the following:

make: *** No rule to make target ../libvncauth/libvncauth.a', needed by `vncviewer'.  Stop.

But the path is okay, and the Makefile in ../libvncauth *has* a target
"libvncauth.a".

What is going wrong?

Example situation:

$ mkdir testsuit
$ mkdir testsuit/room
$ cat > testsuit/room/Makefile
world: ../hello
	echo "world!"
^D
$ cat > testsuit/Makefile
hello:
	echo "Hello, "
^D
$ cd testsuit/room
$ make world
make: *** No rule to make target ../hello', needed by `World'.  Stop.

???
Thank you,
Marcus
