| Makefiles have a very picky syntax. One thing you'll want to check is the spacing before line 36. Makefiles need a TAB, not spaces from the begining of the line to the start of the command. For example:
.c.o: mud.h
$(CC) -c $(C_FLAGS) $<
Ensure that space is an actual TAB and not just 8 spaces.
Also check that there isn't a "floating" space at the end of line 36 and you have a clean line break. Finally, check to make sure you have a CC=gcc line at the top of your file. | | Top |
