The directory structure is now a/b1.java b/a1.java b/a2.java b/a3.java Now when I run make, I get a/a1.java a/a2.java a/a3.java b/a1.java b/a2.java b/a3.java Put things back the way they started, and add the directory c: c/c1.java c/c2.java I run make and I get a/b1.java b/b1.java c/c1.java c/c2.java Neat, huh? It looks like there is something special about the directory names a and b, but not c.
