Summary0014308: NMake Makefiles do not mark phony targets such that NMake understands
DescriptionI use Visual Studio 2008 with 64 bits compilation support.
Under Linux, I launch my tests via make test.
Under Windows, if I launch "nmake test", the tests are note started. I've got the following message:

e:\ycollet\RiskManager\build_tmp_64>nmake test

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.

'test' is up to date


If I edit Makefile and rename the 'test' rule into 'yc', nmake yc launch the tests.
I suspect a problem with nmake.

It's the same when compiling using the 32 bits DOS console.
nmake test doesn't work.

I found the reason on a blog:

I've got a test directory which seems to interfere with the nmake test rule.

NMake does not understand CMake's ".PHONY" mark:
