Re: make file version problem

[Pritam Nandy]

hi Stephan,

thanks for your reply. unfortunately, due to stringent policies I'm not in a position to upload the whole make file code. but, the line 446 which contains the problem is as - 
genlib: $(LIBLIST)
this is only what I can provide. I'm really sorry bout that. but please understand my constraints which I'm really helpless bout.

thanks,

Pritam.

when I try to make a make file using gnu make v3.60 it goes on fine but when I try to use make v3.79 on the same file I get an error like this -
mainLib.gmk:446: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.

...is it really a version problem? if yes, in that case, how could I change my make file line above to make it compatible with v3.79?

3.6 and 3.79 are both _really_ old (3.81 was released in 2006, if i'm not mistaken). We cannot possibly know what you need to change to make it work unless you show us the makefile code.
