Thread: An Error

Hi I got this error when trying to compile a GDI window I was making, In the makefile.

Code:

# Project: Project1
# Makefile created by Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2

CPP  = g++.exe
CC   = gcc.exe
WINDRES = windres.exe
RES  = gdi_private.res
OBJ  = "D:/Documents\ and\ Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.o" $(RES)
LINKOBJ  = "D:/Documents and Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.o" $(RES)
LIBS =  -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -mwindows -lgdi32  
INCS =  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include" 
CXXINCS =  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/backward"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/mingw32"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include" 
BIN  = gdi.exe
CXXFLAGS = $(CXXINCS)  
CFLAGS = $(INCS)  
RM = rm -f

.PHONY: all all-before all-after clean clean-custom

all: all-before gdi.exe all-after


clean: clean-custom
	${RM} $(OBJ) $(BIN)

$(BIN): $(OBJ) //<<<---This is the line of code that refers to the error
	$(CPP) $(LINKOBJ) -o "gdi.exe" $(LIBS)

"D:/Documents\ and\ Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.o": D:/Documents\ and\ Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.cpp
	$(CPP) -c "D:/Documents and Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.cpp" -o "D:/Documents and Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.o" $(CXXFLAGS)

gdi_private.res: gdi_private.rc D:/Documents\ and\ Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/GDI01.RC 
	$(WINDRES) -i gdi_private.rc --input-format=rc -o gdi_private.res -O coff

Error:
26 C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win [Build Error] *** multiple target patterns. Stop.

Ive tryed 2 other forums but nobody seems to know what is wrong.

Any ideas =/

--Stephen

Come on please, Nobody seems to know anythung about this =[

--Stephen

The error is because your target expands to someting like

Code:

ggdi.exe: something D:something_else

Make sees D: as beeing anoter target
must be some missing '"' somewhere. Cannot locate it .
Kurt

Kind of lost reading that =/

--Stephen

I don't think that you really need all those absolute path in your makefile
Like this it's not generating errors anymore

Code:

# Project: Project1
# Makefile created by Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2

CPP  = g++.exe
CC   = gcc.exe
WINDRES = windres.exe
RES  = gdi_private.res
OBJ  = main.o $(RES)
LINKOBJ  = main.o $(RES)
LIBS =  -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -mwindows -lgdi32  
INCS =  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include" 
CXXINCS =  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/backward"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/mingw32"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include" 
BIN  = gdi.exe
CXXFLAGS = $(CXXINCS)  
CFLAGS = $(INCS)  
RM = rm -f

.PHONY: all all-before all-after clean clean-custom

all: all-before gdi.exe all-after


clean: clean-custom
	${RM} $(OBJ) $(BIN)

$(BIN): $(OBJ)
	$(CPP) $(LINKOBJ) -o "gdi.exe" $(LIBS)

main.o: main.cpp
	$(CPP) -c main.cpp -o main.o $(CXXFLAGS)

gdi_private.res: gdi_private.rc GDI01.RC 
	$(WINDRES) -i gdi_private.rc --input-format=rc -o gdi_private.res -O coff

Kurt

Nop, still getting the error

--Stephen

The makefile that I posted should be ok ( at least for gnu-make ).
Are you writing the makefile yourself ?
If not I guess the original one got generated again.
Kurt

No it just generates.

--Stephen

Think best is if you setup a new project, and move your source-files.
I would recommend to use a path without any spaces in the name as well. ( not even Windows itself handles them very well ).
Kurt

Code:

"26 C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win [Build Error] *** multiple target patterns. Stop. "

Code:

OBJ  = "D:/Documents\ and\ Settings/Stephen/Desktop/gdi/main.o" $(RES)

Just noticed that the makefile and sources are on different drives even. Unusual I would say.
Must be something wrong with either the setup of the IDE ( compiler ) or your project.
Kurt

None of those worked. =[

And Im still getting this error.

--Stephen

Im new to GDI, I was following a tutorial on it and then this happened and I started seeking help so Im not sure what to do =[
