Hi, I am new to make and Makefiles and ran into a problem through eclipse, which I am researching the cause for...not getting there fast I know. Anyway, I decided to research make today and get confused with references to some things in your documentation, Soo Since I read your bug reporting page, maybe you'd like to point me in the right direction.
The reference to RCS and SCCS file types on page https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Remaking-Makefiles.html#Remaking-Makefiles What is an RCS File type? Google references 3D scene data type...I don't think that's where we are. SCCS file type? Nothing found for that type.. I checked the Index at https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Catalogue-of-Rules.html#index-s_002e-_0028SCCS-file-prefix_0029 No definition for SCCS or RCS file typs there either... Could you enlighten me on the file types and what generates them please? Oh and the research I am trying to resolve The make output is: ====================== 12:46:45 **** Build of configuration Default for project hello_world **** make -j4 all *Makefile:8: /home/pete/esp/esp-idf:/home/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk <http://project.mk>: *No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target '/home/pete/esp/esp-idf:/home/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk'. Stop. "make -j4 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete. =================== I see that make thinks Makefile include file exists in /home/pete/esp/esp-idf/ which it does, but the next part of the line (and where that is data gets set) eludes me. "*/home/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk <http://project.mk>: *No such file or directory" This project.mk file is not in this directory, it is in directory */home/pete/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk <http://project.mk>* *$HOME is defined as /home/pete* *IDF_PATH = "/home/pete/esp/esp-idf" and is defined to the compiler directives under eclipse.* *and defined in the Makefile* *"Makefile"* # # This is a project Makefile. It is assumed the directory this Makefile resides in is a # project subdirectory. # PROJECT_NAME := hello-world echo $(IDF_PATH); include $(IDF_PATH)/make/project.mk =====================end of makefile============ how does make build the line with the colon in it like so? /home/pete/esp/esp-idf *: */home/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk (spaces added for reading clarity) when I have not defined the 2nd string and it is not the true location of the esp-idf/make/project.mk file, which is in /home/pete/esp/esp-idf/ project.mk? (The /pete/ directory is missing. Is the string built from a script that is using /home/ as the default home directory by any chance? I spent 7 days looking at this now! (Learned a lot, I also learned I need some help) Please advise? Thanks Pete E
