Post the makefile.

Edit: attached file since it's a little confusing to read on forums.

My guess is it doesn't like the blank in "resource file".

Either that, or the file is missing.

what line are you talking about. or are you talking about the file itself. cause it's not blank.

k0zy · Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 2:34 pm Post subject:

Talking about the last rule in the makefile.

tcsoccerman · Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 3:03 pm Post subject:

oh. i don't understand much of makefiles so could you help... ty

k0zy · Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 3:10 pm Post subject:

Try renaming the file from "resource file" to something else without a space in it.
Also make sure the file actually exists.

As there's no rule to make the file, it has to exists before running make.
So either it doesn't, or make can't find it because of the whitespace inside the filename.

ok now it says it's circular..?

Post the new makefile, too.

Is recource a word?

tcsoccerman · Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 6:09 pm Post subject:

i think so what do you mean. a word as in my program or the dictionary. lol. this makefile is automatically generated so it should be correct.

I thought it was resource...lol

k0zy · Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 7:38 pm Post subject:

Why is it called "recource"?
Where did the file extension go?
