In the end, it turns out this error was that it didn't like using this:
MAKE make
As a test, I commented out the reference to CPP_LIB, and it then gave
the same error pointing to the entry before that in BASE_DEFINES, and so
on until the message was that it didn't recognise the command "-f <some
parameters>"
I replaced
$(MAKE) -f $(MAKE_VCPM) $(BASE_DEFINES)
with
make -f $(MAKE_VCPM) $(BASE_DEFINES)
and it seems to be getting a bit further. It strikes me that this error
would have been obvious from the outset if the terminal would only show
the whole error message, and not just a trimmed and mildly garbled
version of the last N chars. Grumble grumble.
I've still not got it to the stage where it'll actually make vcmp, but
at least now its actually trying to do so. (Note, yes I did uncomment
those CPP_LIB etc references again!)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winston/source/src/linux_sdk'
: No such file or directory
'. Stop. *** No rule to make target `Makefile.vcpm
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winston/source/src/linux_sdk'
make: *** [vcpm] Error 2
Ok so the directory definitely exists, but I've learned my lesson - just
because it immediately follows on from a directory name, "no such file
or directory" probably doesn't actually apply to that directory. I've
ensured all the directories referenced in Makefile.vcpm do exist, and
created the obj dirs just in case that was the problem. I imagine it has
to be one of these that's causing the latest problem, but i can't see
it...
They sure don't make this easy, do they?
P.S. Damn, I seem to have broke threading. Sorry. Not sure how...
