I am new to Linux and makefiles. I have a makefile which generates .a files.
When I run the makefile, I get the following error. I have no idea from which part of the code, the error occurs.

[oracle@dyl02703app004 erm]# make -f erm_make_ida all
.... Compiling /home/wholesale/children/dev5/comps/erm/obj/ermparseyac.c

<command line>:1:1: error: macro names must be identifiers

Any suggestions…?

    You have a -D flag with no name. Look in your makefile to see what is causing it.
