Linux Make Error 2
find a list of 'make' error codes? up vote 14 down vote favorite 5 I am trying to compile a program written in Fortran using make (I have a Makefile and, while in the directory containing the Makefile, I type the command $ make target, where "target" is a system-specific target specification is present in my Makefile. As I experiment with various revisions of my target specification, I often get a variety of error messages when attempting to gcc error 2 call make. To give a few examples: make[1]: Entering directory /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments ./dpp angfrc.f > angfrc.tmp.f /bin/sh: ./dpp: Permission denied make[1]: *** [angfrc.o] Error 126 make[1]: Leaving directory make: *** [cmu60] Error 2 and make[1]: Entering directory /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments ./dpp -DSTRESS -DMPI -P -D'pointer=integer'-I/opt/mpich_intel/include angfrc.f > angfrc.tmp.f /bin/sh: ./dpp: Permission denied make[1]: *** [angfrc.o] Error 126 make[1]: Leaving directory make: *** [mpich-c2] Error 2 and make[1]: Entering directory /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments ./dpp -DSTRESS -DMPI -P -D'pointer=integer' -I/opt/mpich_intel/include angfrc.f > angfrc.tmp.f /bin/sh: ./dpp: Permission denied make[1]: *** [angfrc.o] Error 126 make[1]: Leaving directory make: *** [mpi-intel] Error 2 Do you know how I can find a list of what the error codes, such as "Error 126" and "Error 2," mean? I found this thread on another website, but I am not sure what the reply means. Does it mean that there is no system-independent meaning of the make error codes? Can you please help me?

in the recipe is executed in a new shell; after the last line is finished, the rule is finished. If there is an error (the exit status is nonzero), make gives up on the current rule, and perhaps on all gcc error 1 rules. Sometimes the failure of a certain recipe line does not indicate a problem. For
Makefile Error 1
example, you may use the mkdir command to ensure that a directory exists. If the directory already exists, mkdir will report an
Linux Make Error 1
error, but you probably want make to continue regardless. To ignore errors in a recipe line, write a ‘-’ at the beginning of the line’s text (after the initial tab). The ‘-’ is discarded before the line is http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18807/where-can-i-find-a-list-of-make-error-codes passed to the shell for execution. For example, clean: -rm -f *.o This causes make to continue even if rm is unable to remove a file. When you run make with the ‘-i’ or ‘--ignore-errors’ flag, errors are ignored in all recipes of all rules. A rule in the makefile for the special target .IGNORE has the same effect, if there are no prerequisites. These ways of ignoring errors are obsolete because ‘-’ is more https://www.gnu.org/s/make/manual/html_node/Errors.html flexible. When errors are to be ignored, because of either a ‘-’ or the ‘-i’ flag, make treats an error return just like success, except that it prints out a message that tells you the status code the shell exited with, and says that the error has been ignored. When an error happens that make has not been told to ignore, it implies that the current target cannot be correctly remade, and neither can any other that depends on it either directly or indirectly. No further recipes will be executed for these targets, since their preconditions have not been achieved. Normally make gives up immediately in this circumstance, returning a nonzero status. However, if the ‘-k’ or ‘--keep-going’ flag is specified, make continues to consider the other prerequisites of the pending targets, remaking them if necessary, before it gives up and returns nonzero status. For example, after an error in compiling one object file, ‘make -k’ will continue compiling other object files even though it already knows that linking them will be impossible. See Summary of Options. The usual behavior assumes that your purpose is to get the specified targets up to date; once make learns that this is impossible, it might as well report the failure immediately. The ‘-k’ option says that the real purpose is to test as many of

CPPS := $(shell ls src/*cpp) TEMP := $(subst src/,obj/,$(CPPS)) OBJS := $(subst .cpp,.o,$(TEMP)) HEADERS := $(shell ls inc/*.h) EXEC := bin/testfile all: $(EXEC) $(EXEC) : $(OBJS) $(HEADERS) g++ -I inc/ linux make error $(OBJS) -o $(EXEC) -lSDL -lGLU $(EXEC) obj/%.o: src/%.cpp g++ -Wall -I inc/ -c $< -o $@ ps: just incase I am saying the wrong thing when I say 'Library flags' I mean -lSDL -lGLU etc... Wherever I put them they dont seem to work. This is the error I get when I insert the lib flags, make: *** [bin/testfile] Error 255 The Error 255 is produced by make as a result of its command shell not being able to find a command for a particular rule. If i dont include them I get standard 'undefined' messages. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
