make ng does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Per-Jensens-iMac:optiboot Zapro$ make ng

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
make: *** No rule to make target `ng'.  Stop.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Optiboot, Mac OS X 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.

I need to flash the optiboot bootloader to my Arduino Mini's - they use an 
Atmega168. The boards.txt file refers to optiboot_ng, which is not included in 
the distro, so i go to the terminal to compile it from optiboot source.
I can compile for the other boards. e.g. make lilypad

Any idea why it won't work ?

Where did you get optiboot_ng in boards.txt from?  As far as I can tell, it has 
never existed for optiboot, and never been mentioned in an official boards.txt

The generic "atmega168" target (which produces optiboot_atmega168.hex) should 
work fine.

I don't think that it's a goal of the optiboot makefile to accept every 
possible "board name" for each ATmega chip; only the ones that have something 
significantly different.

We're getting away from mysterious "board" names to more generic names.
Use "make atmega168"
