Programming :: Automake Error - Cannot Open > Py/Makefile.in
Jun 25, 2011
I am new to automake. When running automake command, there is an error "cannot open > py/Makefile.in: No such file or directory". How to create that file? And, what is that file for?
It builds fine when I build from the command line ( make -f sample.mk).
However, it does not build when building from eclipse (which essentially calling the same makefile). The make output shows exactly the same as what I got from the command line build, except the last line showing
I have some data files that should be distributed with my program. Using dist_pkgdata_DATA in Makefile.am, I get these files installed to /usr/local/data/share/package-name. The problem is that data is read-only, and my program needs to modify it. Playing with dist_sharedstate_DATA, dist_localstate_DATA, dist-data_DATA varibles, I got different installation directories, like /usr/local/com, usr/local/var, but data is always read-only.
How can I distribute modifiable data files with my package? I need some common directory for all users, or maybe local data in a user directory.
After doing make I have the following questions? How can I see that the build is with debug information? What shall I do to build the release version? Can I have the release version in one directory and the debug version in another? I mean, when I change from debug to release, make will not overwrite the debug version.
I want to gave much details as possible. working directory (~/a1/shell) in the shell directory i have Makefile. also in the shell directory i have subdirectory's (obj, src, include)
My current Makefile
Quote:
#What needs to be built to make all files and dependencies
clean:
# End of Makefile
I wanted it so: all .o files are created in the obj subdirectory, and my application, sshell, is created in the shell directory.
I am getting this error when i run the make run: No rule to make target 'shell.h', needed by 'shutil.o'. stop

I just downloaded slackware 13.1(x86) and i'm trying to compile ndiswrapper-1.56 using the slackbuild from slackbuils.org and i'm getting this error:
Code:
Makefile:535: /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4/arch/i486/Makefile: No such file or directory make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4/arch/i486/Makefile'. Stop. make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2
I want to define _LINUX in my makefile which I would be using in my source code like #if _Linux. I do not want to #define _Linux __linux__ in my source code.
at present I compile the same code for different systems (cross compilers)I need to call libs and include paths for the different processors. At present I simply comment out the paths not needed
I am a beginner in Linux. Never did any kernel programming in Linux/Windows before. I am now on a project and I am supposed to understand a Linux Device Driver Code. It contains 6 .c files and 1 Makefile.
The make file goes as this:
I have a.c b.c c.c d.c d.c e.c f.c in the director along with the Makefile mentioned.
I'm trying to figure out how Make handles directories.
How can I modify this makefile so it will put all of the .o files in a separate build directory?
Code:
But make ignores this and still puts main.o in the base directory. And if I refer to the build directory in the dependencies for bandit, make complains about "no rule ..."
I want to keep main.cpp in the base directory, all other sources in the src directory, and all object files in the build directory.
When I put a "test" target in my Makefile containing Code: @echo "CXX= $(CXX)" it tells me "CXX= g++". But I have nothing in the Makefile assigning any value to CXX, and as far as I can tell I have no CXX environment variable (no "CXX" appears when I run the shell command "env", and "echo $CXX" returns a blank line. So where's the g++ value coming from. Is this just built into Gnu Make, or is there a configuration file for make somewhere?
I am trying to run a script to setup environment variables and then run other commands in a make file. But the source or the dot operator (shell is bash) does not seem to take any effect as the subsequent command didn't pick the environment up. Do I have to put every lines of the environment setup in the first script into the makefile instead?
I am trying to use a software package written in ANSI C. It has a makefile which has to be executed first.
As soon as I execute it I get messages like: line i: command not found.
Commands for which I am getting errors :
CC = /usr/bin/gcc GCCFLAGS = -c -Wall ROOTDIR = .
My gcc compiler is located in the above directory only. In ROOTDIR also I tried giving the path in which all the required files & folders are present but still I get the command not found error in all the lines.
I'd like to write a Makefile for my CUDA/C++ code but I didn't know how things work with CUDA, I mean there is a nvcc compiler but I don't know what I've got to do with this. Do I have to firstly run nvcc and then g++ or only nvcc to compile my CUDA/C++ code ? I found nothing on the web explaining such basic things .
So I have been trying for 8 hours to try to get the index of an element from a list in a Makefile. The problem is that after I get the index using all the methods I have tried, the index cant be used in the "word" function:
for instance: $(OUTPUT2) : INDEX = $(shell echo $(OUTPUT2) | sed -r -e "s/[ ]+/ /g" | grep -n $@ | sed 's/^([0-9]*):.*/1/')
will create a variable INDEX defined specifically for each member of OUTPUT2, so that each output knows its index. Unfortunately, when I pass this $(INDEX) into word, it doesn't work:
$(OUTPUT2) : $(word $(INDEX), $(INPUT1)) $(word $(INDEX), $(INPUT2)) echo $(INAME) $(TMPBASE) $@ and I get the error: Makefile:16: *** non-numeric first argument to `word' function: 'num'. Stop.
I feel like if I could just convert a string to a Makefile acceptable number this would just work....
im trying to write a makefile which contains :two cpp files and two header files. now i've put cppfiles in a folder called source whose path is: /root/workspace/source and header files in a folder called header whose path is:
/root/workspace/makedemo/header
my makefile is in the path:/root/workspace/makedemo my makefile was like this:
Code:
HEADERS = $(shell /root/workspace/makedemo/header ls *.h) SOURCES = $(shell /root/workspace/source ls *.cpp) COMPILERFLAGS = -W -Wall DEBUGFLAGS = -g
[code].....
im sure that i've given the correct path but it is showing errors like this:
[root@localhost makedemo]# make /bin/sh: /root/workspace/source: is a directory /bin/sh: /root/workspace/source: is a directory g++ -W -Wall -I. -o output g++: no input files make: *** [output] Error 1
I know how to manually writing a makefile for my project, but I am new in using makefile & configure file generation tools like automake to generate a makefile and a configure script file.
I had done research on tutorials for generating makefile and configure script file.
I know that I need to manually write two files (makefile.am and configure.in).
I use wxWidgets GUI library, libconfig library, and libpcap library to do my project.
wx-config is a tool that can return the library files and include directory for wxWidgets library.
When using g++ to compile my files, I need to add in this line "`/wxlib/bin/wx-config --version=2.9 --static=yes --unicode=yes --debug=yes --libs`"
I'm trying to make recursive makefile work but it's giving me two problems. I have a top folder with the main Makefile and one Makefile for each sub folder 'one' and 'two'. Makefile in subfolder 'one' and 'two' are identical. The top Makefile (still a bit messy) looking like this:
Code: # Directories CC = gcc CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra TARGET_DIR = bin MAIN_FILE = one.c
I've been trying to work out a way to stop chunks of code being compiled using a variable in my makefile but can't work it out. What I mean is for example in my code I might have.
/****output comms portdata********/ printf(" debug comms port %d",ReadPort("ttys1);
I only wish this code to be compiled when I'm debugging. What I've tried is using #ifdef with
#ifdef COMM_PORT_DEBUG printf(" debug comms port %d",ReadPort("ttys1); #endif
Then in my make file I set COMM_PORT_DEBUG to 1 so
DEBUG_DEFS = COMM_PORT_DEBUG=1
I then thought I could put it into my in my link line
I am dealing with one FORTRAN 90 code, have made small changes.
milenko@milenkons:~/mt4$ make mt4 make: 'mt4' is up to date. milenko@milenkons:~/mt4$ ifort -c MT2DDIB1.FOR milenko@milenkons:~/mt4$ make mt4 make: 'mt4' is up to date. milenko@milenkons:~/mt4$ make mt4 make: 'mt4' is up to date. milenko@milenkons:~/mt4$ make mt4 make: 'mt4' is up to date.
I go for make command but it does not see that the source code has been modified.Than I do compilation from command line,try make again but no use. F95=ifort FFLAFGS= -O1
The following is my Makefile, I wanted to add a staic library named libtimer.a. I'm using the following Makefile. Please let me know how to add this static library:
I'm aware that one can export make variables to other makefiles; however, how does one export them to the environment of $(shell)? Take the example below:
Code: export TEST VARIABLE=$(shell echo $$TEST) .PHONY: all all: #$(VARIABLE)
In this example, I might call make TEST=test. The goal is for $TEST to be available to the environment of the shell escape. This is because I need its value in a script which is called. For example:
Code: VARIABLE=$(shell i-need-TEST.sh)My current solution is the following:VARIABLE=$(shell export TEST="$(TEST)"; i-need-TEST.sh) but this only works if I know all if the variables needed at that point (as opposed to being able to export variables in included makefiles.) Is there an easy solution?
I am new to the whole concept of makefiles, and I'm trying to compile and build my program using a makefile template I have found. My project consists of three directories: "source", where my .cpp files are (source1.cpp, source2.cpp, source3.cpp), "include", where my .h files are (header1.h, header2.h, header3.h), and "obj", where the object files are to be stored (obj1.o, obj2.o, obj3.o). In the project root directory is my makefile, which is as follows:
Code: EXEC = myexe CC = g++ IDIR = include SDIR = source ODIR = obj
