I am trying to compile a Pro C file on gcc and I am getting this error    make       MedLib x o  Error 1   This is the command printed by make       usr bin gcc -g -fPIC -m64 -DSS 64BIT SERVER  -I home med src common - I u01 app oradb11r2 product 11 2 0 dbhome 3 rdbms demo  -I u01 app oradb11r2 product 11 2 0 dbhome 3 rdbms public  -I u01 app oradb11r2 product 11 2 0 dbhome 3 precomp public  -I u01 app oradb11r2 product 11 2 0 dbhome 3 xdk include INCLUDE  u01 app oradb11r2 product 11 2 0 dbhome 3 precomp public -lnapi -ltabs -c MedLib x c   Please help me why this make error is coming  Although object file is also created

Sometimes you will get lots of compiler outputs with many warnings and no line of output that says     error  you did something wrong here  but there was still an error  An example of this is a missing header file - the compiler says something like  no such file  but not  error  no such file   then it exits with non-zero exit code some time later  perhaps after many more warnings   Make will bomb out with an error message in these cases

I got the same thing  Running  make  and it fails with just this message     make make       all  Error 1   This was caused by a command in a rule terminates with non-zero exit status  E g  imagine the following  stupid  Makefile   all          false        echo  hello    This would fail  without printing  hello   with the above message since false terminates with exit status 1   In my case  I was trying to be clever and make a backup of a file before processing it  so that I could compare the newly generated file with my previous one   I did this by having a in my Make rule that looked like this      -e       amp  amp  mv       bak      not realizing that if the target file does not exist  then the above construction will exit  without running the mv command  with exit status 1  and thus any subsequent commands in that rule failed to run  Rewriting my faulty line to    if   -e       then mv       bak  fi   Solved my problem

In my case there was a static variable which was not initialized  When I initialized it  the error was removed  I don t know the logic behind it but worked for me  I know its a little late but other people with similar problem might get some help

From GNU Make error appendix  as you see this is not a Make error but an error coming from gcc          foo  Error NN          foo  signal description      These errors are not really make errors at all  They mean that a program that make invoked as part of a recipe returned a non-0 error code     Error NN      which make interprets as failure  or it exited in some other abnormal fashion  with a signal of some type   See Errors in Recipes    If no     is attached to the message  then the subprocess failed but the rule in the makefile was prefixed with the - special character  so make ignored the error     So in order to attack the problem  the error message from gcc is required  Paste the command in the Makefile directly to the command line and see what gcc says  For more details on Make errors click here
