ruleset not being executed

[Payal-5]

Hi all,
I have a simple makefile like this.

$ cat Makefile
.PHONY: one two

obj = foo.c bar.c car.c

one:
        @echo obj = $(obj)
        @echo new = $(subst foo, FOO, $(obj))
        @echo

two:
        @echo obj = $(obj)
        @echo new = $(patsubst %.c, %.o, $(obj))
        @echo
$ make
obj = foo.c bar.c car.c
new = FOO.c bar.c car.c



Why is ruleset "two" not executed?

With warm regards,
-Payal

To quote the GNU make info pages:
----
9.2 Arguments to Specify the Goals
==================================

The "goals" are the targets that `make' should strive ultimately to
update.  Other targets are updated as well if they appear as
prerequisites of goals, or prerequisites of prerequisites of goals, etc.

   By default, the goal is the first target in the makefile (not
counting targets that start with a period).  <...>

As a shell scripter, I am having a lot of hard time learning make.
Thanks a lot.
