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.
This is wrong: You shouldn’t “compile” .h files. Doing so will create precompiled header files, which are not used to create an executable. The above should simply be Similar for compiling the other .cpp files
You probably have not installed make. Restart the cygwin installer, search for make, select it and it should be installed. By default the cygwin installer does not install everything for what I remember.
It’s a tabs problem. Some text editors may replace tabs with white spaces, make sure you use a proper text editor that doesn’t mess it up. Open your makefile in vi or any other rudimentary editor, and rewrite that makefile. Note that after each target rule, one single tab must be placed in the beginning … Read more
Your problem is most likely that the shell does not know where to find your make program. If you want to use it from “anywhere”, then you must do this, or else you will need to add the full path each time you want to call it, which is quite cumbersome. For instance: This is to be … Read more
You may try altering toolchain in case if for some reason you can’t use gcc. Open Properties for your project (by right clicking on your project name in the Project Explorer), then C/C++ Build > Tool Chain Editor. You can change the current builder there from GNU Make Builder to CDT Internal Builder or whatever compatible you have.
Excerpt from http://www.mingw.org/wiki/FAQ: What’s the difference between make and mingw32-make? The “native” (i.e.: MSVCRT dependent) port of make is lacking in some functionality and has modified functionality due to the lack of POSIX on Win32. There also exists a version of make in the MSYS distribution that is dependent on the MSYS runtime. This port operates … Read more
strcmp function is declared in string.h try to put in DynamicLibrary.cpp and stderr is defained in stdio.h so put that too From time to time I found open source code with missing header files as well. UPDATE: If you have different name, you can search include directory, in real GNU/Linux bash (should work with Windows … Read more
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
That message is usually an indication that some of your files have modification times later than the current system time. Since make decides which files to compile when performing an incremental build by checking if a source files has been modified more recently than its object file, this situation can cause unnecessary files to be built, or … Read more
