Umm I have just spent a frustrating few days trying to figure out why my dia compile wasn't working... It wasn't until I read a sams unix in 24hrs (yeah right) book that explained what a makefile was did I know where to start... It was a simple back slash that was the problem causing a comment to run on to the cpp define statements.
Wrong: # charconv.c \ # charconv.h \ CPPFLAGS = $(LIBART_CFLAGS) \ -DLIBDIR=\"$(libdir)\" \ -DDATADIR=\"$(pkgdatadir)\" Right: # charconv.c \ # charconv.h CPPFLAGS = $(LIBART_CFLAGS) \ -DLIBDIR=\"$(libdir)\" \ -DDATADIR=\"$(pkgdatadir)\" My question is can anyone recommended a good book that discusses and explains gnu make automake autoconf libtool and the macro language and syntax of aclocal etc?... I'm not a complete idiot so I need a book for "people who aren't complete idiots" not a for dummies or such. -- James McDonald MCSE (Windows 2000/NT4), CCNA, CCA, MCP + I Registered Linux User #209832 http://jamesmcd.dns2go.com (home) Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma) 11:50pm up 16:22, 4 users, load average: 0.65, 0.24, 0.20 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
