'make' through ssh not compiling

Question

im trying to execute a make command through ssh and still cannot know the reasons why its not working:

I have done so far:

Sending cmd directly on ssh

ssh root@server 'cd /path/;make foo'
make: *** No rule to make target `foo'.  Stop.

After ssh login

ssh root@server
root@server# cd /path/
root@server# make foo
ok

testing

ssh root@server 'echo blah;echo bleh'
blah
bleh

Are we supposed to diagnose it solely based on "it's not working"? — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, Aug 28 '14 at 23:26
Do you get any errors when you run make through ssh? Where is the makefile? Is it in root's home directory? — Kenster, Aug 28 '14 at 23:27
Is `make` the only program that doesn't work? What if you do `ssh root@server echo foo`? — Barmar, Aug 28 '14 at 23:33
OK, i have looked so far where the problem might be: ssh root@server 'make foo' make: *** No rule to make target `foo'. Stop. ssh root@server #make foo OK. ssh root@server 'echo blah' blah — user3546771, Aug 28 '14 at 23:36
What does the makefile look like? (I assume `ok` is not literally the entire output from running `make foo`?) — Etan Reisner, Aug 29 '14 at 00:27
