Re: Somewhat OT: Problem with make at work.

Couple of things: Are you sure the makefile is being saved with
a real tab character? Does the last line in the makefile end with
a newline (or whatever the end-of-line character is on your
system)?

That last one bites us around here because some developers insist
that a final EOL should not be necessary in a text file no matter
how many times it breaks a build.

Nope, I'm using the same makefiles at home and work. Works at home;
doesn't work at work. Also, the tabs are definitely real tabs ("HT"
character, ASCII 0x09), and I always make sure the last line ends
with a newline. Thanks for the tips, though.

Cool, thanks for the group, I'll try asking over there.

I use Make a lot. I don't see how Make "buries" things. Automates
and encapsulates, yes. You do have to learn a new language
("Makelingo", if you will). But I find it a lot easier than typing
gpp -Wall -O2 -s -L/RHE/lib -lrh -lm glq374.cc -o /RHE/bin/glq374.exe
just to compile and link some small utility program. I'd rather type
just "make" and be done with it.

My structure is always in the
kernel , resident .
Better , kernel has allignment !
I can send my buddy a code frag ,
and it MUST fit precisely in the
kernel !
Bloating is impossible ...

Either you just said something brilliant that went over my head...
or you've been sniffing too much airplane glue. I'm not sure
which.
