I have recently installed GNUstep binaries with Synaptic Package Manager
on my Ubuntu system, and subsequently started to study the Base
Programming Manual, where I came across the following:
________________________________________________________________
Now create the makefile, again using your favourite text editor,
and save it in the same project directory with the filename
GNUmakefile.
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
TOOL_NAME = LogTest
LogTest_OBJC_FILES = source.m
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make
If you look at the makefile above you will notice the two lines
that tell the make utility to build a tool with the filename
LogTest from the Objective-C source file source.m. You could
copy and modify this makefile for later projects you may have:
just change the tool name and list the new source files.
________________________________________________________________
The trouble is that changing the line {{ TOOL_NAME = LogTest }} to
something else, make does not work. I get the following:
$ make
This is gnustep-make 2.0.2. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help'
for help.
Making all for tool WriteStr2File...
Linking tool WriteStr2File ...
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In
function `_start':
(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [obj/WriteStr2File] Error 1
make: *** [WriteStr2File.all.tool.variables] Error 2
i...@kosi:~/work/prgming/obj-c/projs/bp02/wr2file
$
It looks as if certain names like {{ LogTest, simple, ...}} were
pre-compiled into GNUstep make. Is this a known undocumented problem, or
will building GNUstep Make from source solve this problem?
Thank you in advance,
Torli
