Thread: make only does the first line

Add the "all" rule like I've said

i guess your right, i was hoping for quick fix. right now i have some rules setup, can i call them like functions?

thanks

Code:

I:\libraries\strings>make all
str_remove.o \
str_replace.o \
str_copy.o \
str_count.o \
str_insert.o \
str_move.o
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), str_remove.o str_replace.o str_copy.o str_c
ount.o str_insert.o str_move.o, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [all] Error 2

they all work fine on their own

<edit>
i didnt put it on the same line! it works now. thanks.
</edit>

i get "Entering directory `/home/martin/libraries/strings'" a few undred times back when i run make all and then it tell me error 2 with strings.o.

this is really bugging me now...

Code:

str_remove.o : str_remove.c
	gcc -c str_remove.c
	ar -cr str_remove.a
	ranlib str_remove.a
str_replace.o : str_replace.c
	gcc -c str_replace.c
	ar -cr str_replace.a 
	ranlib str_replace.a
str_copy.o : str_copy.c
	gcc -c str_copy.c
	ar -cr str_copy.a 
	ranlib str_copy.a
str_count.o : str_count.c
	gcc -c str_count.c
	ar -cr str_count.a 
	ranlib str_count.a
str_insert.o : str_insert.c
	gcc -c str_insert.c
	ar -cr str_insert.a 
	ranlib str_insert.a
str_move.o : str_move.c str_remove.c str_insert.c
	gcc -c str_move.c str_remove.c str_insert.c
	ar -cr str_move.a 
	ranlib str_move.a
strings.o : str_remove.o str_replace.o str_copy.o str_move.o str_count.o str_insert.o
	make all
	ld -r -o strings.o str_remove.o str_replace.o str_copy.o str_move.o str_count.o str_insert.o
	ar -cr strings.a
	ranlib strings.a
.PHONY: all clean
all:	str_remove.o \
	str_replace.o \
	str_copy.o \
	str_count.o \
	str_insert.o \
	str_move.o \
	strings.o
clean:
	rm *.o
	rm *.a

This seems recursive to me

lol, there we go, my screw up!

What's with all the empty libraries (again)

what do you mean? i see file sizes for what i think are libraries. im using what i found in a book(except for the -c flag, i found that in a thread here. the man page made me think i should have it).

about the recursive problem, i dont see a way around it(that seems right). the files need to be there to be linked and make all should do evereything. shouldnt one stop when theres nothing todo?
