I need help in setting up a Makefile in BSD 4.2.

What I am attempting to do, is take a file with a ".r" suffix and
run it through a process to convert it into a file with no suffix
The obvious thing to do is:

# ======================
.SUFFIXES:	.r

.r:
	process $*.r > $*
# ======================

This works in SYS V, but in BSD 4.2, "make foo" (given foo.r exists)
yields: "Make:  Don't know how to make foo.  Stop."

Anyone have a clean solution to this?
