Full Discussion: Help running a Makefile from within a .sh script?
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Help running a Makefile from within a .sh script? Post 303005282 by cherryTango on Monday 16th of October 2017 02:05:26 PM
Old 10-16-2017
After making the changes you suggested to my program the first error I recieved was:
Code:
Makefile:2: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.

This was because I copy and pasted directly from the forum.. after correcting it and re-running the program I then recieved:
Code:
rm -rf cfile.c cfile.out
gcc -g -Wall -pedantic -Wextra cfile.c -w -o cfile.out
gcc: error: cfile.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 1

Originally I thought this meant I was in the wrong directory to call the makefile but clearly not if it can actually interpret the lines from the file. I realised I had been deleting the .c file before compiling it so there was nothing to compile. After changing the clean statement to:
Code:
rm -rf cfile.out

Running the make all command returned:
Code:
rm -rf cfile.out
gcc -g -Wall -pedantic -Wextra cfile.c -w -o cfile.out

With no errors! However there is no cfile.out in the directory or any compiled c file! What else am I missing?

UPDATE: It is in the directory I just couldn't see it. Thank you so much for your help! Problem solved!!!

ml-makedepend

ml-makedepend(1)					      General Commands Manual						  ml-makedepend(1)

NAME

       ml-makedepend - list files a ML program depends upon

SYNOPSIS

       ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -n ] [ -f makefile ]  project.cm target
       ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -a arch ] [ -o os  ] [ -f makefile ] project.cm target

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the ml-makedepend command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.  The ml-makedepend script is part of the SML/NJ CM (Compilation and Library Manager) that is  used
       to generate a list of files that a ML program depends on for use by make.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -n     ml-makedepend  usually  uses  the  make variables $(ARCH) and $(OPSYS) in the filenames for the Makefile.  This option disables this
	      feature.

       -a arch
	      Use arch in place of $(ARCH).

       -o os  Use os in place of $(OPSYS).

       -f makefile
	      Name of the makefile to be used rather than the default Makefile.

       -Dname=value
	      Set CM variable to given value.

       -Dname Set CM variable to 1.

       -Uname Unset CM variable.

SEE ALSO

       sml(1), ml-lex(1), ml-build(1), ml-yacc(1).
       The programs are documented fully by CM: The SML/NJ Compilation and Library Manager, User Manual, Matthias Blume, which	is  available  via
       <http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/CM/new.pdf>.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Aaron Matthew Read <amread@nyx.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
