Hi,

I am trying to use the Makefile generated by sphinx-quickstart
command, but for some reason make does not execute anything. Here is
what I try to do:
> make Makefile html
make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile'
make: *** No rule to make target `html'. Stop.

Did I miss a step in the installation?

Thanks,
Sandrine.

The "Makefile" is not necessary, "make html" is fine. However, I don't
know why the makefile doesn't have a rule for "html". Can you show me
how the Makefile looks?
