‘gmake’ refers specifically to GNU make. ‘make’ refers to the system’s default make implementation; on most Linux distros this is GNU make, but on other unixes, it could refer to some other implementation of make, such as BSD make, or the make implementations of various commercial unixes. The language accepted by GNU make is a … Read more
A make file can have any name. The -f option of make is used to specify which file to use: You can even use -f several times: In which case make processes the files in order (or, equivalently, concatenates the files and processes the result). makefile and Makefile are special names because if make is called without the -f option it automatically searches for them, in this order, and use the first … Read more
Unless all of your directories (i.e., BIN_DIR, SRC_DIR) are in the root directory (/) then that is why you’re getting the error. You either want to remove the initial slash or you can use an environment variable prefix like SRC_DIR = $(MY_PROJECT_BASE_DIRECTORY)/src.
A simple make will build the first target in the list, which is put-files. make all will build the target all. If you want all to be the default, then move it to the top of the list. To understand what the .PHONY does, see http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/make/Phony-Targets.html
You get this error when you don’t have a file (Checker.cpp) here to make. Its probably for the following reasons : Your current directory is not the directory in which your file resides. The file may have been moved to somewhere else. Or the worse , the file doesn’t exist.

make is a GNU command so the only way you can get it on Windows is installing a Windows version like the one provided by GNUWin32. Anyway, there are several options for getting that: The most simple choice is using Chocolatey. First you need to install this package manager. Once installed you simlpy need to install make (you may need … Read more
Trying to form my own answer based on some research. I think the approximate order of severity is; mostlyclean, clean, maintainer-clean, mrproper, distclean and finally clobber (which is combined distclean and uninstall). make clean make clean is the most basic level. It cleans up most generated files but not anything that records configuration. GNU Make … Read more
Line 18 is gcc -fPIC -g -c -Wall mymemory.cpp. Make is expecting a separator, typically :. It’s not detecting this line as a command. You mistyped the intendation: you have spaces where you should have a tab. Good editors highlight makefile lines that begin with spaces but look like they should begin with a tab … Read more
