Use of make

HI,

I am trying use the make facility with qcc but I consistently get the error
message “missing separator” as soon as I specify a target file. I have tried
inserting blanks and using tabs but all with no effect. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Frans

This is a common syntax error. Why not post your make file.

where are you editing your makefile?
If it’s on a win box, take care to save it as a Unix file, without CR!!

if so try : textto makefile

Hi,

Thanks for your help guys. Your suggestions put me on the right track. I was
using PhEdit. Using vi I found that it was putting an attribute block at
the end of the file in the form of a C style comment which caused make to
complain. I then messed around with PhEdit and found that the option ‘Save
and load styled text’ under Edit/Preferences must be unchecked for PhEdit to
produce a clean file for ‘make’.

Thanks again,

Frans
