Please tell us exactly what you did. Which commands, in which directory,
and what was the output. We cannot guess what you mean by "doesn't work".

To further investigate this situation, you can run "make -dA
show-depends-options 2>err". This will write a very detailed log.

In that log, search for "show-depends-options". There should be some
lines like these:

line 8: Global:.TARGETS = show-depends-options

around line 200000: ParseReadLine (216): '.PHONY: show-depends-options'

directly above that line: ParseSetParseFile: ${.PARSEDIR} =
`../../mk/misc' ${.PARSEFILE} = `show.mk'

These are the first signs that everything works as expected.
