Hi
When I typping make clean in terminal,The following message is
issued:ptsg@ubuntu:~/ptsgcodes/xpdp1/src$ make clean
rm: cannot remove `*~': No such file or directory
make: *** [clean] Error 1
my makefile is:
@rm *.o *~
The error you are seeing is harmless; it is telling you that it can't
remove '*~' because that file does not exist. If you had any files that
ended in '~' that command would remove them, but when there are none,
you get this error (because, for reasons I never understood, typical
Unix shell behavior is for the glob symbol '*' to be used literally if
there are no matching files).
Change this line to:
@rm -f *.o *~
This will cause the lack of any file ending in '~' to be silently
ignored rather than reported as an error.
