No rule to make target '".build-xxxx', needed by 'xxx' . Stop.

[Althar93]

Hello, I appear to been seeing a bug, specifically to do with the generated .mk file for one of my projects.

The outcome is that when building in Codelite, I end up with the following :

**make[1]: * No rule to make target '".build-linux64', needed by 'bin/Biosphere_debug'. Stop.

Now I cannot say I am very familiar with make files but the formatting looks rather odd (see attached biosphere.mk file @81-@83). This could easily be user error but I cannot seem to spot anything wrong with my config.

no_target.tar.gz

I am happy to provide with more information if needed.

Thanks for attaching the repro. I'll take a look.

I played around yesterday with a blank premake config file & a simple test project to try & repro the issue. I did not succeed.

On the other hand, I did manage to build the project/executable as above using Codelite's "Build workspace" option ; however, the "Build project" still yields the error above as the .mk is missing the target entry ".build-linux64".

From this, I can only assume that this is actually an issue with Codelite, as it is missing the rule in the auto-generated .mk for the project.

Could be worth checking but in the meantime, I will create a corresponding issue on the Codelite issue board.

Thanks!

Hello there :)

I still can confirm this very same problem for premake5.0.0-alpha13 & Codelite 12 ( stable ).
Codelite seems to be fine on itself, 'cause it's able to build 'hand-crafted' projects, so it's most probably the generator's fault.
Any updates on this issue?

P.S.
My project consists of console executable and a static library. The latter is doing fine, but the console app's build produces the message described above by Althar93.

Also, the issue for Codelite was closed on instant. But seems legit.
