What is make *** [filename] Error 1 and how we can resolve this?

RanjanR · 08-07-2012, 04:46 AM

Hello,

I want to know how we can handle the make error:

Code:

make: *** [/home/abc/sal/emp_sal.sas7bdat] Error 1

I have below code which is ending up with above error. I checked in log, there is no such error and output file is also created successfully. Problem here is I am trying to automate something but not able to beacuse make is stopped in between with above error.

I have gone though some of the post related to this but not able to understand why this error comes.

Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks!

This is the last line of the log which only acknowledges the fact that the process has failed. Read backwards for more information.

Yes, this is the last line which only shows error. I have run sas program and it has no error in the log. infact the output file also has correct output.

1. redirect make to have a logfile: make 2>&1 | tee log.make
2. edit Makefile not to hide the commands:

Code:

cp Makefile Makefile.orig
sed -e $'s;^\t@;\t;' Makefile.orig >Makefile

If already not solved.
Can you please post the output of whole "make" command.?
