I had that problem (message sent on May 23th to Pw_forum). A reply by Andrea Ferretti 
on May 24th gave the clue for a way to solve it without having to generate the 
make.depend files elsewhere:

 Right after having executed configure, execute from the main directory:
    grep @ */make.depend
Any lines revealed there which have a name bracketed between two @ characters 
indicate a dependency that should have been solved but was not. You should change 
these offending lines in their respective make.depend files in order to have, instead of 
@name@, a reference to an object file. Normally the name of this file is name.o 
preceded by the appropriate path. The path where such file is to be located must thus 
be identified. At the time of making such change in the make.depend files, i.e. before 
running make, the name.o file does not exist yet, but a corresponding name.f90 file 
should be already in the corresponding directory, that is how you can locate it. Once 
these @name@ occurrencies are substituted, running make should find no more this 
problem.
In my case, I had offending files in the D3 and PP directories. I cured the problem with 
the following:

cd D3
cp make.depend make.depend.tmp
sed "s/@phcom@/..\/PH\/phcom.o/" make.depend.tmp >make.depend
rm make.depend.tmp
cd ../PP
cp make.depend make.depend.tmp
sed "s/@iotk_module@/..\/iotk\/src\/iotk_module.o/" make.depend.tmp >make.depend
rm make.depend.tmp
cd ..

The first sed execution substituted many lines; the second one only one (thus in that 
case it was easier to do it with the vi text editor)
Hope this helps
