I've copied a C++ project from my old computer to this one, and I am now trying to (without success) compile the project in the same way as I did before. I use Emacs as a text editor and compile with g++. Here is what my makefile looks like:
And here is what Emacs displays when trying to compile (Edit: just ignore this error and skip down to my second post, since this error was caused by an incorrect installation of SDL!):
Code:
mingw32-make -k
g++ main.o -Wall -I.. -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -o image_test.exe
C:\Program1\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lSDLmain
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *** [image_test.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
It says that it can't find -lSDLmain. What does it mean (makefiles are not my strong side), I have installed SDL the way it should be installed (NOT!)? Can you see what is wrong?
Sorry, I just realized that SDL was causing that problem, since I copied the wrong folder by mistake when installing SDL development package (bin folder instead of lib).
Anyway, I corrected that, and that error disappeared. However, I got this error instead:
Code:
mingw32-make -k
g++ main.o -Wall -I.. -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -o image_test.exe #Link .
g++: #Link: No such file or directory
mingw32-make: *** [image_test.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
Looks like it has problems with the comment? Why? Shouldn't it totally ignore the comment?
Once again, I am a newbie when it comes to makefiles, this one I basically just tried to mimic from an already existing makefile from another project!
Edit: The strange this is that, if I remove the comment "#Link .", it DOES compile, but it leaves the following message:
Code:
mingw32-make -k
rm main.o #Remove .o
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm main.o #Remove .o, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2
CreateProcess failed? And "make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified", what does this mean?

Now I got it! I'm not programming in Unix/Linux actually, I'm programming in Windows, using mingw. What I forgot is that rm in not a normal windows shell command. I had to install msys! When I installed it and added the bin folder to my path in windows, everything worked perfectly well!
Hi All,
We have moved our OS from Sun Solaris to Linux and also some of the compilers.
Our old makefile used to be as below:
CC=cc
FLAGS=-G -KPIC -DLG_SOLARIS_OS
DEFINES=-DSunOS
SYSLIBS=-lc
.SUFFIXES : .c
.c.o : ;$(CC) -c $(FLAGS) $(DEFINES) $*.c -o $*.o

Dear all,
I have a quite simple question about how to manipulate "makefile.am". I intend to:
1. "CFLAGS" and "CXXFLAGS" have no value at all. I know that these values get "-g -O2" by default. On the other hand, when I try to set them as "CFLAGS = " in "makefile.am", I get warning messages... (4 Replies)

I have 2 libraries in 2 different directories that I build with Makefiles.
