Make file error

Hi All,

I am getting this message when I attempt to make an object file using "make" command.

"
Make: Don't know how to make /customer/default/sources/runtime/src/ru_msgs.C,v. Stop"

Do you know whats the cause??

Best regards
Henry

Re: Make file error

It looks like it is trying to make a RCS file?
Any reason you don't have those in a separate RCS/ directory??

Re: Make file error

Hi,

it would be helpful if you attach the Makefile or a part of it here.

Perhaps the filename is written incorrectly?
I think, the message can be reproduced with such rules (simplified):
.C,v.C:
co $@

.C.o:
$(CCC) -c $<

prog: myfile.o

If there is no myfile.C, such a message should appear.
