I did not get the SetupExecute function, even if I strip it down to a simple example

$(eval $(call SetupExecute, generate_export_list, \
    INFO := Generating export list for static libs, \
    DEPS := /path/libjli.a, \
    OUTPUT_FILE := /path/libjli.a.exp, \
    COMMAND := $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) -w $$(patsubst %.exp, %, $$@) | $(GREP) -v '^.' | $(AWK) '{print $$$$1}' | $(SORT) -u >$$@, \
))

$(java): $(STATIC_LIB_FILES) /path/libjli.a.exp

I still get
`gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target '/path/libjli.a.exp', needed by '/path2/java'.  Stop.
`
Why does make not recognize, that the rule is in my
 `call SetupExecute, generate_export_list,`
macro?
