Error When Using Make

Question

Hello,

I'm learning Objective-C using GNUStep in my Windows(Cygwin) and i have two files, one source and one make file:

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

APP_NAME = HelloWorld
HelloWorld_HEADERS = 
HelloWorld_OBJC_FILES = main.m
HelloWorld_RESOURCE_FILES =

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make

But when i run make in the directory i'm getting this errors:

GNUmakefile:1: /common.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:8: /application.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/application.make'.  Stop.

What is wrong?

Answer 1

The GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES variable needs to be set to point to the directory that has that commmon.make file in it. K

Answer 2

You haven't set the value of the GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES variable. You have two ways to achieve this:

1. Use an environment variable: export GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/the/path/you/want.
2. Set it directly in the Makefile: put a line GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES = /the/path/you/want in the Makefile somewhere before you use it.
