I'm trying to use the gcc compiler on Suse Linux 9.0 straight from the
command line. I'm a windows refugee, so please be gentle.
I have a bunch of c code with appropriate headers and a Makefile.in and a
Makefile.am. I'm really new to this, and having trouble undersatnding the
theory behind the compilation process, obviouisly affecting my ability to
get this to work.
I've tried:
make makefile.in
from the directory in which the files reside, getting the message
"nothing to be done" which I understand, since the makefile is supposed to
keep track of only those things that have changed.
make makefile.am
same thing as makefile.in
gcc makefile.in
"unrecognized file extension"
gcc cfile.c -main c file, although there are lots of others
Here I get lots of errors, all relating to not found/not declared
elements.
So, my assumption was that I could just "execute" a compile with the
makefile, which would control the process. This seems not to be the case,
or if it is, I can't seem to find out how.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. I've been reading for a few hours
on this and can't seem to get the answer.
Thanks again!
