clean:
    $(RM) *.o

When I run the file I get an error

". Stop.e: Error:  Don't know how to make "bessToWss

Any idea what is wrong? I run this on some unix machine via a script. The script calls make after sets some paths or some other settings. As you can see I’m not sure how it’s called.

Thanks 🙂

    The error message looks peculiar — do you have CRLF line endings in the makefile?

    ". Stop.e: Error: Don't know how to make "bessToWss

    That could be:

    /bin/make: Error: Don't know how to make "bessToWssCR". Stop.

    where the CR is the carriage return moving the print position back to the start of the line.

    Did you create the makefile, or edit it, on a Windows machine? Did you FTP or copy it without using a text mode transfer, so the CRLF line-endings were preserved?

    If so, get rid of the carriage returns. Edit the file on Unix with vim and do :set fileformat=unix and save again.

    Under this hypothesis, make is trying to build a program whose name includes a CR (carriage return) in the name and you’ve not given it a rule for doing that.
