Need an operator

[Darren Bounds]

Hello all,

 

I’ve just began working with GNU autoconf and automake this evening. And I’ve read the online manual. It was very helpful. I am still however having some difficulties. I went through the following process:

 

I built my configure.in

I ran autoscan and added a few additional header and function checks that it complained about

Ran aclocal to generate aclocal.m4

Ran autoheader

And finally automake and autoconf

 

(I’ve skipped over the banging of my head against the wall and suicide attempts which occurred sometime during the whole process)

 

Upon completion I was presented with a beautiful configure script that appeared to work flawlessly. I ran the script, and attempted a ‘make’. This is the error:

 

bash-2.05b# make

Making all in src

"Makefile", line 220: Need an operator

"Makefile", line 324: Need an operator

"Makefile", line 325: Need an operator

"Makefile", line 328: Need an operator

"Makefile", line 331: Need an operator

make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

*** Error code 1

 

 

Line 220 in src was the following:

 

-include $(DEP_FILES)

 

 

Line 324 was in the all directive:

 

all:

        cp myprog $(top_srcdir)                    <- 324

        strip $(top_srcdir)/myprog

 

 

 

I really have no idea where to go from here and was hoping to find direction from the list.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Darren
