Subject: Problem with DB_INSTALLS in Makefile

I just tested the template file generation in asyn with this command:

/home/epics/devel/asyn/bin/linux-x86_64/makeSupport.pl -t streamSCPI test4

It worked fine, and generated this test4/test4Sup directory:

**********************
corvette:~/scratch/test4/test4Sup>ls -l
total 12
-rw-rw-r-- 1 epics domain users  256 Aug 31 08:44 Makefile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 epics domain users 2032 Aug 31 08:07 devtest4.db
-rw-rw-r-- 1 epics domain users  190 Aug 31 08:07 devtest4.proto
**********************

This is the Makefile it generated:

**********************
corvette:~/scratch/test4/test4Sup>more Makefile
TOP=..
include $(TOP)/configure/CONFIG
#=======================================

# Install .dbd and .db files
DB_INSTALLS += devtest4.db
DB_INSTALLS += $(TOP)/test4Sup/devtest4.proto

#=======================================
include $(TOP)/configure/RULES
**********************

The Makefile looks OK to me.  I am not sure why the proto file has an explicit path, and the .db file did not, since they are in the same directory.

However, when I run it I get the following error:

**********************
corvette:~/scratch/test4/test4Sup>make
make -C O.linux-x86_64 -f ../Makefile TOP=../.. \
    T_A=linux-x86_64 install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/epics/scratch/test4/test4Sup/O.linux-x86_64'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `devtest4.db', needed by `../../db/devtest4.db'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/epics/scratch/test4/test4Sup/O.linux-x86_64'
make: *** [install.linux-x86_64] Error 2
**********************

If I change the Makefile to use DB rather than DB_INSTALLS for the first file, it works fine:

**********************
corvette:~/scratch/test4/test4Sup>more Makefile
TOP=..
include $(TOP)/configure/CONFIG
#=======================================

# Install .dbd and .db files
DB += devtest4.db
DB_INSTALLS += $(TOP)/test4Sup/devtest4.proto

#=======================================
include $(TOP)/configure/RULES
**********************

**********************

It seems like DB_INSTALLS works if the file has a path, but does not work if the file is in the current directory?

This is base 7.0.6.1.
