Hi,
I have a question about gnumake under cygwin...
I am getting an error "*** missing separator" compliling using a home-baked
makefile.
The following is the segment of the Makfile that is causing the problem. The
error refers to the line starting with $(LIB)
----------------------------------------------------
$(LIB): $(LIB)($(OBJS)) $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(LDLIBS) $^
----------------------------------------------------
The segment above is part of a top-level makefile that defines a set of
standard make targets. The problem only arises when $(LIB) is not defined
in the makefile that includes the top level one.
This exact makefile setup works fine on Linux, BSD and Solaris. Just not
Cygwin.
I have checked the usual suspects... (ie There is a tab before the $(CC) line
and there are no CR/LF issues.
Cheers
