- This is a semi-rant. I have learned, to my extreme annoyance,
- that clipping into makefiles usually causes make to
- puke. I won't detail the amount of time it took me
- to learn *not* to clip, but I would like a pointer
- or two on exactly how to prevent the following error
- without completely retyping the offending lines in
- the makefile:
-
- ~/src/fracture 2:11pm> make
- make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 16: Unexpected end of line seen
- ~/src/fracture 2:11pm> !vi
- vi Makefile
-
- (I try to retype the offensive lines, and take out some commented
- lines.)
-
- ~/src/fracture 2:11pm> make
- make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 13: Unexpected end of line seen
-
- etc. etc. until I have eliminated whatever offends make that
- it sees and I cannot.
-
- Can anyone help with this? Much obliged,
- Dave Doolin
