PATCH 1/1 contrib/scalar: fix 'all' target in Makefile

From: Victoria Dye <[email protected]>

Add extra ':' to second 'all' target definition to allow 'scalar' to build. Without this fix, the 'all:' and 'all::' targets together cause a build failure when 'scalar' build is enabled with 'INCLUDE_SCALAR':

Makefile:14: *** target file `all' has both : and :: entries. Stop.

contrib/scalar: fix 'all' target in Makefile

This patch fixes an issue introduced in a36b575aab (scalar Makefile: use "The default target of..." pattern, 2022-03-03) in which an 'all::' target was added without converting the existing 'all:' (single-colon) target into an 'all::' (double-colon) target. This causes a build error, but only when compiling with 'INCLUDE_SCALAR' enabled. As a result, I only just found it when building 'scalar' on the 'microsoft/git' fork.

Although 'INCLUDE_SCALAR' isn't enabled by default, we should fix the build error for anyone that may intentionally build with it. If possible, it would be nice to have this merged before the final v2.36.0 so that users don't run into the error in the next release.

Thanks for the fix, and sorry.

I missed this because I build and install scalar locally with a patch on top[1] to integrate it into the main Makefile, so I wasn't running this part, even if I was building, testing and installing it as part of my local build.
