I'm assuming you have a functional knowledge of Makefile syntax and have checked for obvious problems. Also: Have you manually edited Makefile? What exactly DID you do between when it worked and when it stopped working? (xfering it between systems with whatever... scp, ftp, etc. editing, reboot with any notices from fsck, then forgot to check the makefile)? make is VERY particular about the format and syntax of Makefile, but this doesn't sound like a syntax problem, it sounds more like a line or two got lost or edited... check for the lines that start with "[word]:". Those are your targets. If "make [target]" whines then you've got something seriously wrong. -me -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
