how to make <file>(bu42) error

[Pinto Don Joshua]

Hi,

When I try to compile Lab3 from home using make I'm getting an error
like :

(bu42).ow how to make <filename>

I don't face this problem when compiling from school.

There is no error in the make file because my program compiles well from
school ecf computers and cannot be compiled from home.

How can I solve this?

Thanks

The actual error message is "Don't know how to make <filename>", where
<filename> appears in one of the dependency lists in your Makefile. (I
don't know where the "(bu42)." is comming form, but it looks like it's
overwriting the start of the error message.) The solution is to make sure
that the file either exists in your directory, or can be built as one of
the targets in your Makfile. Also check the spelling of everything
carefully. If you've misspelled something in your makefile, then obviously
"make" won't be able to find it. But also remember that UNIX is
case-sensitive, so "SAT.h" and "SAT.H" are two different files. If you are
FTPing files from a PC at home, you may find that it will sometimes change
the case of filenames unexpectedly.

Done worry, I had the same problem before. It's becoz you were not in
SSH when compiling at home. try log in by p33.ecf.utoronto.ca instead of
skule.ecf.utoronto.ca
