problem with makefile

killer_instinct · 12-22-2006, 12:30 PM

hi i made 3 files which are
project.c
lib.c
lib.h

in project.c i write

#include <studio.h>
main()
{
printf("hello",dosomething(5));
}

in lib.c i write
#include "lib.h"

int dosomething( int x )
{
return (x*3);
}

in lib.h i write
int dosomething( int ) ;

and in the makefile i write
project.exe

roject.o lib.o
cc -o project project.o lib.o
lib.o : lib.c
cc -c lib.o lib.c
project.o : project.c lib.h
cc -c project.o project.c lib.h

and thenn i go to the shell and i taped make
it said erreur:missing seperate

It is a complaint about the format of your makefile. Please repost your makefile in CODE tags to preserve the formatting.

That "lib.o" shouldn't be there.

where so can any body help me i guess it's a simple program !!!!

As already asked for, please post your Makefile between code tags.

Something like:

Code:

project: project.o lib.o
  cc -o project project.o lib.o
lib.o : lib.c
  cc -c lib.c
project.o : project.c lib.h
  cc -c project.c lib.h

I fixed two lines there, as Nylex suggested, and the main target too.

thank you very much now i must tape make right
i mean i save what u tagged in a file called makefile then i tape make in the shell

Glad to know.
The reason it failed is likely missing spaces (or tab) before the cc commands in your original Makefile.

my god it's the space so
really windows is more good than this unix
all of that because of space

Windows is certainly not "more good" than Unix because of this particular spacing issue.

At the opposite, breaking conventions like this one is commonly described as the obnoxious "Embrace and Extend" behaviour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace...and_extinguish

Now you understand why IExplorer adds so many odd querks and didn't support CSS properly until Firefox posed a threat. If the IE browser was standards compliant, then web apps could become as useful as desktop apps, so applications could become desktop neutral threatening their main product.

i use fedora fc4
what's the matter with that makefile
did you test that makefile

jlliagre · 12-23-2006, 10:48 AM

Again, can you post the makefile you are using, and between code tags.

And make sure the indented lines start with a tab, as POSIX standard requires.

i use this one i write it and it's the same problem
