 'all' not found by directory search.
 Directory searching for '../include/file.x'.
 '../include/file.x' matches vpath pattern '%.x'.
 Directory searching for '../include/file.x' in '../lib/include'.
 Found '../include/file.x' as VPATH '../lib/include/../include/file.x'.
   Directory searching for 'file.x'.
