make file

[shuo]

I am trying to make a makefile(makeSupersonic) for the following compilation:

> g++ -o supersonic_ob supersonic_ob.C flow_field.C function_declarations.C Boundary.C Time_Step.C -lm

GCOMPILE = g++-4.0
FOPTIONS = 
CODE     = supersonic_ob1

OBJECTS = $(CODE).o  flow_field.o  Boundary.o   Time_step.o   function_declarations.o 
$(CODE): $(OBJECTS)
	$(GCOMPILE) -o $(CODE) $(FOPTIONS) $(OBJECTS)

$*.o:   $*.C 
	$(COMPILE)

It gives the following error messages when I type
>./makeSupersonic

./makeSupersonic: line 1: GCOMPILE: command not found
./makeSupersonic: line 2: FOPTIONS: command not found
./makeSupersonic: line 3: CODE: command not found
etc....

Moved: build tool question.

It sort of looks like you're trying to execute the makefile itself... (should it have executable permission + it lacks a shebang? Not a *nix expert here...)
Just run make. ie:

make -f makeSupersonic

Also, "GCOMPILE" seems... outlandish. I believe most people use CPP there, and it might already (depending on your make and system) be already set to g++.
You should also have tabs before the commands (but not the rules) but this may have been lost to the board's formating. IIRC, it's:

%.o : %.c

(without $s, and using %s.) (And COMPILE is undefined...)

Attach the file. It is likely an indentation issue.
