make error "Expecting macro or rule defn, found neither" [message #146002] Wed, 25 May 2005 14:02 Go to next message

I searched the newsgroup for this error but couldn't find anything
appropriate. Sorry if it's a duplicate...

I have the PalmSource version of Eclipse and it has been working fine
for quite a while. Suddenly, I get this error *every* time I build a
managed project - even a simple C project with only one source file:

**** Incremental build of configuration Debug for project Test ****

make -k all
make: makefile: line 7: Error -- Expecting macro or rule defn,
found neither
Build complete for project Test

Since this is a managed make project, I don't understand how this could
happen at all and I need a clue about how to fix it. Why would it work
for a long time and then suddenly start happening for all projects??

Anyone have a clue? :-)

Thanks!

Steve

Found the problem...

The "Problems" tab in Eclipse didn't bold itself, so I didn't look there
initially. When I *did*, I found a message complaining that make wasn't
GNU make. That sent me to the system variables where I found the PATH
had the cygwin utilities at the very end. Moving it to the front solved
this problem!

Maybe this will at least help someone else :-/
