Makefile possibly misconfigured?

I was trying to follow the instructions on how to build this from source, but I ran into an issue where the .room files would not generate, causing the room object files to not assemble properly.

I tried multiple different approaches to this, but what ended up working was temporarily including $(ROOM_ROOM_FILES) in the build target for $(ROOM_LIB_FILE) before $(ROOM_OBJ_FILES). This caused the build to fail in a different way, but because the .room files had generated at that point, I was able to remove it and have the build complete.

I don't know enough about the current build process to understand what the actual fix could be, but I figured it was worth reporting.

Build System:

• Debian 13
• cc65 V2.18 - Debian 2.19-2

From another person I was troubleshooting this with: The environment variable for CA65_INC may need to be set for things to work properly. However, they were using a local install while I was using a system-wide install. I tried setting that envar pointed to the correct asminc directory and it did not work still without modification.

Hmm, that's odd. I wonder if it could be some difference in how different versions of Make handle wildcard rules, or something like that? I am using GNU Make 3.81 in my build environment, and everything works just fine.
