Well, of course it works, when the file is there. Make just compares the
time
stamps. If the file is there, it's fine, but if it's not, it doesn't
have a rule
to create the file and that's, what it tells you.
Do you use -j? If not, I can't think of a reason, why it sometimes works
and sometimes
not.
