to fix them. Sometimes make errors are not fatal, especially in the presence of a - prefix on a recipe line, or the -k command line option. Errors that are fatal are prefixed with the string ***. make all error 2 Error messages are all either prefixed with the name of the program (usually ‘make’), or,

code (‘Error NN’), which make interprets as failure, or it exited in some other abnormal fashion (with a signal of some type). See Errors in Recipes. If no *** is attached to the message, then the sub-process failed but the rule in the makefile was prefixed with the - special character, so make ignored the error. ‘missing separator. Stop.’ ‘missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.’ This means that make could not understand gcc error 2 much of anything about the makefile line it just read. GNU make looks for various separators (:, =, recipe prefix characters, etc.) to indicate what kind of line it’s parsing. This message means it couldn’t find a valid one. One of the most common reasons for this message is that you (or perhaps your oh-so-helpful editor, as is the case with many MS-Windows editors) have attempted to indent your recipe lines with spaces instead of a tab character. In this case, make will use the second form of the error above. Remember that every line in the recipe must begin with a tab character (unless you set .RECIPEPREFIX; see Special Variables). Eight spaces do not count. See Rule Syntax. ‘recipe commences before first target. Stop.’ ‘missing rule before recipe. Stop.’ This means the first thing in the makefile seems to be part of a recipe: it begins with a recipe prefix character and doesn’t appear to be a legal make directive (such as a variable assignment). Recipes must always be associated with a target. The second form is generated if the line has a semicolon as the first non-whitespace character; make interprets this to mean you left out the "target: prerequisite" section of a rule. See Rule Syntax. ‘No rule to make target `xxx'.’ ‘No rule to make target `xxx', needed by `yyy'.’ This means that make

Many a times, a corresponding error code is also shown, like Code: make: [run] Error 56 (ignored) make: [run] Error 91 (ignored) make: [run] Error 96 (ignored) et al. I tried google'ing as well as searching this forum for what these error codes mean. I know, make does not generate an error code. It displays an error message. But these codes must be referring to something. Is it documented anywhere ? http://www.unix.com/unix-for-advanced-and-expert-users/19853-gnus-make-error-codes-list.html Does anyone have a list for the same, mapping an error code to a message ?

They mean that a program that make invoked as part of a recipe returned a non-0 error code (‘Error NN’), which make interprets as failure, or it exited in some other abnormal fashion (with a signal of some type). See Errors in Recipes. If no * is attached to the message, then the subprocess failed but the rule in the makefile was prefixed with the - special character, so make ignored the error. So in order to attack the problem, the error message from gcc is required. Paste th
In C programming language, there is no direct support for error handling. You have to detect the failure and handle the error. In C programming language, return values represents success or failure. Inside a C program, when a function fails, you should handle the errors accordingly, or at least record the errors in a log file. When you are running some program on Linux environment, you might notice that it gives some error number. For example, "Error no is : 17", which doesn't really say much. You really need to know what error number 17 means. This article shows all available error numbers along with it descriptions. This article might be a handy reference for you, when you encounter an error number and you would like to know what it means. In C programming language, there is an external variable called "errno". From this errno variable you can use some error handling functions to find out the error description and handle it appropriately. You have to include errno.h header file to use external variable errno. perror function prints error description in standard error. The strerror function returns a string describing the error code passed in the argument errnum. The following C code snippet tries to open a file through open system call. There are two flags in the open call. O_CREAT flag is to create a file, if the file does not exist. O_EXCL flag is used with O_CREAT, if the file is already exist open call will fail with the proper error number. $ cat fileopen.c #include
