Makefile composed rule not executing defined other rule

Executing make fails because it cannot find the previously defined rule in the make file. Also the "dir" rule only works if I use "make dir" but when I added it to the composed rule it lists the files in the working directory....

make test_tester

base_types.c  dynamic_array.c  gists  hashtable.c  linked_list.c  Makefile  Makefile_OLD  object.c  object_table.c  out.txt  READ_THIS.txt  sstring.c  tester.c  tests  ttime.c

I figured it out thanks.
