I’m experimenting with tangling files in org-mode, and have found that certain
files cause org-babel-tangle to die with an error (Org-mode version 8.3beta
(release_8.3beta-884-g9ed426). Here’s a small example:
————————————
* Sample code
#+BEGIN_SRC makefile :tangle makefile-main
circle:
@gfortran -c circle.f90
main: circle
@gfortran -c main.f90
@gfortran circle.o main.o -o main
clean:
@rm -f *.o main
#+END_SRC
Run this block to tangle out the new files.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-babel-tangle)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| makefile-main |
In this block I use this header:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results raw
#+END_EXAMPLE
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results raw replace
make -f makefile-main clean main
./main
#+END_SRC
————————————
When I run org-babel-tangle on this file (or press C-c C-c in the emacs-lisp
block), I get the following error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
string-match("-l \"\\(.+\\)\"" nil)
org-babel-tangle-single-block(5)

(:result-type . value) (:result-params "replace") (:rowname-names)
(:colname-names)))

org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c(nil)
call-interactively(org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c nil nil)
command-execute(org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c)
Any ideas what’s going on? If I delete either of the two blocks at the bottom
of the file (the EXAMPLE block or the final SRC block), it works fine.
Thanks.
