Eg: Mithril$> drink csh Mithril$> markian% make sense make: *** No rule to make target `sense'. Stop. Mithril$> markian% make bottle.open make: *** No rule to make target `bottle.open'. Stop. It’s not that they don’t work, exactly, but that they’ve changed. Eg:

Mithril$> drink csh
Mithril$> markian% make sense
make: *** No rule to make target `sense’. Stop.
Mithril$> markian% make bottle.open
make: *** No rule to make target `bottle.open’. Stop.
