GNU Make ignore all rules except first

I have a project with a bunch of source file, some of them (but not all) must be rebuilded after one specific *.h file is changed (currtype.h). I have explicit rule for this in my makefile:

%.obj: %.c
    $(COMPILE)

main.obj: main.c currtype.h
    $(COMPILE)
CustomHTTPApp.obj: CustomHTTPApp.c currtype.h
    $(COMPILE)
CustomSNMPApp.obj: CustomSNMPApp.c currtype.h
    $(COMPILE)

COMPILE = -"$(CC)" -C $< $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE_STACK)

But than I change my currtype.h I see only main.c being recompiled. If I put CustomHTTPApp on the first line and main.c on second, then only CustomHTTPApp is recompiled etc. How this can be fixed?

If you just run "make", the first non-implicit rule gets executed, which just builds main.obj. You need to add another target building all output files, e.g. called "all":

all: main.obj CustomHTTPApp.obj CustomSNMPApp.obj

%.obj: %.c
    $(COMPILE)

main.obj: main.c currtype.h
    $(COMPILE)
CustomHTTPApp.obj: CustomHTTPApp.c currtype.h
    $(COMPILE)
CustomSNMPApp.obj: CustomSNMPApp.c currtype.h
    $(COMPILE)

COMPILE = "$(CC)" -C $< $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE_STACK)
