I am running Ubuntu 10.04. Whenever I run make clean
, I get this:
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
Here is my makefile:
CC = gcc CFLAGS = -g -pedantic -O0 -std=gnu99 -m32 -Wall PROGRAMS = digitreversal all : $(PROGRAMS) digitreversal : digitreversal.o $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS) .PHONY: clean clean: @rm -f $(PROGRAMS) *.o core
Any ideas why its not working?
EDIT: It seems like doing:
make -f Makefile.txt clean
works. Now: is there any setting to change so I don't have to do the -f Makefile.txt
every time?
It seems your makefile's name is not 'Makefile' or 'makefile'. In case it is different say 'abc' try running 'make -f abc clean'
I suppose you have figured it out by now. The answer is hidden in your first mail itself.
The make
command by default looks for makefile
, Makefile
, and GNUMakefile
as the input file and you are having Makefile.txt
in your folder. Just remove the file extension (.txt
) and it should work.
