Hi ALex, make relies on the tab character (ASCII 0x09) for indented lines. Some editors change those tabs to a number of spaces (ASCII 0x20). So after editing the makefile this error messages occur. Does it work when you use the original (unedited) makefile?

I am trying to learn MSPgcc and binutils using examples provided in msp430-libc-1.0.20030207.tar. To ensure that I use Make.exe from the MSPgcc distributive I use a batch file: D:\Tools\MSPgcc\bin\make.exe When I try to make the example "bufferedUSART" I've got the following error message Makefile:8: *** missing separator. Stop. If I remove conditional around line 8 in the Makefile and leave that line as follows include environ.mak # ! in front of include is removed, otherwise it is an error then I've got the following error message Makefile:47: *** missing separator. Stop. My knowledge of makefiles is not sufficient to figure out what is wrong in the line 47: @$(CC) $(CPFLAGS) $< -c -o $@ What went wrong? I experience same problems in the example "tasker" as well. Other samples compiled OK. Regards Alex
