Hello I have done all I can to understand and follow the GNU build system in my learning steps so far. I am getting this error: ************************************************** make[3]: Entering directory `/home/sam/Hello_world/src' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `print.cpp', needed by `print.o'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sam/Hello_world/src' *************************************************** well, the Makefile in the directory mentioned in the error has been generated by the "Build system". all the following steps succeeded; libtoolize autoheader touch NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog stamp-h aclocal autoconf automake -a ./configure but the problem happens when I run make the Makefile is quite long and I really don't think it should be fixed by changing things in the makefile but to findout what is wrong with my makefile.am or configure.ac in the parent directory, both of which I think I get them right. any suggestions is really appreciated. thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
