    If I cc into the /var/yp directory and type "make", it uses the Makefile
    in that directory. I am writing a script that will do an NIS make when
    the script is run. However, I am unable to get it to work properly. I
    have tried to put the appropriate cd command on the line above, and I have
    tried putting an "-f /var/yp/Makefile" after the /usr/ccs/bin/make, but I
    still get the error

    make: Warning: Don't know how to make target `all'
    Current working directory /opt/local/bin
    make: Warning: Target `all' not remade because of errors
    Current working directory /opt/local/bin
    *** Error code 1
    make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `k'

    Any suggestions what else to try?

    TIA and I will summarize.
