.so build error coming - please suggest (eclipse CDT cygwin)

Question

**** Build of configuration Debug for project myso ****

make all

filename.d:1: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.

The makefile looks like:

# All Target
all: libmyso.so
# Tool invocations
libmyso.so: $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS)
    @echo 'Building target: $@'
    @echo 'Invoking: GCC C++ Linker'
    g++ -L"E:\cygwin\lib" -shared -o"libmyso.so"
    $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS)
    @echo 'Finished building target: $@'
    @echo ' '
# Other Targets
clean:
    -$(RM) $(OBJS)$(C++_DEPS)$(C_DEPS)$(CC_DEPS)$(LIBRARIES)$(CPP_DEPS)$(CXX_DEPS)$(C_UPPER_DEPS) libmyso.so
    -@echo ' '

.PHONY: all clean dependents .SECONDARY: -include ../makefile.targets

Answer 1

The makefile that you posted (I hope I got the formatting correct) refers to another makefile, and the contents of that other makefile are probably important. However, it appears that your problem is that filename.d is found in a path with spaces , and that path is what appears in either $(OBJS) or $(USER_OBJS) (probably defined in ../makefile.targets ).

EDIT It looks like this is a problem that has been fixed in some version of Make, but not yours (see "Compiling on Cygwin").
