when i do make, it says:
gcc -I ../include/ -c -o BUFR_Decoder.o BUFR_Decoder.c
gcc -I ../include/ -c -o HVFD.o HVFD.c
gcc -I ../include/ -c -o BUFR_Printer.o BUFR_Printer.c


what i want to do is :
if BUFR_Encoder.o is compiled then make BUFR_Encoder executable.

but only BUFR_Encoder.o is compiled, it does not make the executable.

you should have meant the opposite I think. Because if there's a change in c file, or there is no object file, target is done. So it's object dependent. I think you mean that I can't do that with executables as if I can with object dependency in Makefile.

Am I right?

But your evidence is that your approach sometimes fails, so take it from there.

But I think
