subprojects wont compile

[kosh]

Bugger,

in my email quoted below, in question 3 you'll find 

"but then it says "<insert error about not having any files>" and bombs
out"

what I should have replaced that tag <insert...> with (cause I tend to
write a template of what I want, then replace specific things with the
actual information afterwards, but forgot this time)

* Making all in libfusion 
* gmake[2]: *** No rule to make target `all'. 
* gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 
* gmake: *** [all] Error 2

But like, I've added a file to the fusion.a target, so why doesnt it
fine a rule to build it?

anyway, just thought I would clean that up

thanks

kosh
