Linux makefile in hp-ux

Trond Jacobsson — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 06:07:56 GMT

I am trying to run a makefile that is built for linux on a hp-ux machine. The problem is that I get an error when I try to execute the make command:

Make: Must be a seperator on rules line 151. Stop.

The line that the execution halts on are always the first one with a command other then

something = somthing else
or
include ........

so when there are an ifeq or echo statement, the above error message shows up. anyone know about some big differense between linux make and hp-ux that I should be aware about?

Linux uses gmake. HP-UX uses standard make with no features.

You'll need to get gmake on HP-UX:

within the make file it likely specifies gcc and gmake as the compiling tools.

You can download the gmake and gcc from the hpux open source depot referenced in another posted reply.
