Hi pyjama team,
Hi @therustyengineer
I am new to Makefiles and just get started with your tutorials.
While running make command, I am getting message like this. Any Idea why I am getting this message? Your help is much appreciated!!
I did some analysis on google and came up with some modifications. Then it started working fine. But still have some doubts on this.
Note : I am using Windows machine
-
SOURCES = $(shell find $(SRCDIR) -type f -name '*.c') this bit of line is not working in my case. (Getting error while using this line as mentioned above) . I have changed this to SOURCES = $(wildcard src/*/*.c) $(wildcard src/*.c) and it started working fine. Any idea why $(shell find) is not working in my case?
-
The second modification in my code is while making directories for placing object files. Means @mkdir -p $(@D) this line of code giving error message like below.
As a fix for above error ChatGpt suggest me to put this line of code @if not exist $(subst /,\,$(@D)) mkdir $(subst /,\,$(@D)). The reason for this is, in windows system, it will look for backward slash in file path's instead of forward slash.
- The last modification also seems similiar as the above one. It was in clean command. Instead of this
rm -rf $(BUILDDIR) , I changed to @if exist $(subst /,\,$(BUILDDIR)) rmdir /s/q $(subst /,\,$(BUILDDIR)). Otherwise I got error message like this.
My doubt is, Is the root cause for the errors are, whether windows require backward slash in it's file system or something else?
If that is true do we have any other commands to use here instead of using $(subst /,\,$(VARIABLE)) everytime?
Also If I don't use @if not exist $(subst /,\,$(@D)) in 2'nd case, I got error messages like below. Is there any other commands instead of using @if not exist
If I use -p with mkdir I got error like this. Here I don't know why -p is not working properly? Any thought about this?
Thanks!!
