Thread: make file problem

Hey guys im trying to compile multiple .c source files with .h files
i keep gettin an error using a makefile in unix

"fatal error in reader: makefile, line 17: unexpexted end of line seen" i have no idea what im doin wrong could someone help troubleshoot

Code:

all: ts.o ts_utility.o ts_options.o
	gcc -o ts ts.o ts_utility.o ts_options.o

main.o: ts.c ts.h
	gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c ts.c

options.o ts_options.c ts_options.h
	gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c ts_options.c

util.o  ts_utility.c ts_utility.h
	gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c ts_utility.c

its all good but now i get a different error its actually a warning sayin
" Warning newline is not last character in file makefile" i have no idea

just want the make file to compile completely

so thats all it means about the enter

sorry guys just one last question just say for example i want to compile it with data files .csv files would i need to include it in the make file especially if the program is going to be reading and writing to them if so where would i include it?

If I understand you right then the compiled program is going to read from and write to .csv files. So the function of the program is not depending on some data in .csv files. In this case you don't have to include them in the makefile.
It would be different if you woud have some pre-processor that creates source-code or header files from some data in csv files.
In that case you could put something like that into the makefile

Code:

options.o: ts_options.c ts_options.h autoheader.h
	gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c ts_options.c

autoheader.h: data.csv
        myprocessor data.csv

This would make options.o depending on autoheader.h and autoheader.h would depend on data.csv
the rule to create autoheader.h would be to run myprocessor with data.csv as input.
