makefile

[twans]

heya,

i have a makefile which is pasted below. on execution i get the following:

-bash-2.05b$ makefile
./makefile: line 1: CC: command not found
./makefile: line 2: CFLAGS: command not found
./makefile: line 3: LDFLAGS: command not found
./makefile: line 4: SOURCE: command not found
./makefile: line 5: OBJECTS: command not found
./makefile: line 6: PROGRAM: command not found
./makefile: line 1: PROGRAM: command not found
./makefile: line 8: all:: command not found
./makefile: line 1: PROGRAM: command not found
./makefile: line 1: OBJECTS: command not found
./makefile: line 1: CC: command not found
./makefile: line 1: OBJECTS: command not found
./makefile: line 1: CFLAGS: command not found
./makefile: line 1: LDFLAGS: command not found
./makefile: line 1: PROGRAM: command not found
./makefile: line 11: -o: command not found
./makefile: line 13: fg: no job control
./makefile: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./makefile: line 14: ` $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $

anyone got any ideas what may be causing this?

im trying to run the makefile on both unix and linux.

thanks in adv.

CC = g++
CFLAGS = -ansi -g -pedantic -Wall -Wno-missing-braces
LDFLAGS =  -lsocket -lnsl -lm
SOURCE = .cc .h
OBJECTS = display.o filereader.o program.o
PROGRAM = pguide

all:    $(PROGRAM)

$(PROGRAM):    $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(OBJECTS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(PROGRAM)

%.o:    %.cc %.h
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<

clean:
rm -f $(PROGRAM) *.o

tarfile:
rm -f $(TARFILE)
tar cf $(TARFILE) $(SOURCE) Makefile

from this:
-bash-2.05b$ makefile

....it looks to me like you're trying to execute the make file.

try:
prompt>make
or
prompt>make -f my_make_file
in the directory that the makefile is in


edit: if the above is correct, you will probably want to make "makefile" a non-executable - however, keeping it executable you MIGHT be able to put #!/usr/bin/make in the first line of your file and then executing it, but this is just a guess.

its sorted,

thanks anyways/

For anyone who is wondering:

The problem with the above make file is that the macros aren't being assigned to correctly. In a makefile you assign to a macro using :=
Example:

CC := g++
CCOPS := -Wall -ansi -pedantic
