makefile knowledge neede

[Sheldon]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem: when running the make command. My script is compiled
but when the makefile gets to the library that is to be included, I
get a long long list of "undefined reference to " something in the
library. Now I have tried to pipe the makefile output to a file in
order to examine it from start to end but ">" doesn't work and the
terminal window only scrolls back so far. This has not happened to me
before so I am fresh out of ideas. Does anyone know how to pipe the
make output to a file or has something like this happened to you
before and you have some idea what the problem is?

tail of error results
snip.....
: undefined reference to `fio_fmtr_end'
/path/libbufr.a(emosnum.o)(.text+0x11d): In function `emosnum_':
: undefined reference to `fio_src_info'
snip....

I know that this library is good and functioning ok.

Any help is appreciated!

Sheldon

I have a problem: when running the make command.

'make' is not part of the C language. You should consult a newsgroup
that discusses your development environment.

Now I have tried to pipe the makefile output to a file in
order to examine it from start to end but ">" doesn't work and the
terminal window only scrolls back so far.

The remedy for this depends upon your operating system and your
shell (and possibly on your choice of terminal windows).

If you are using something unix-like, consider using the 'script'
command.

Questions about the "make" command should be directed to
comp.unix.programmer.

The error messages are being written to stderr, not stdout. Redirect
both stdout and stderr with ">&" if you're using csh or tcsh, or with
">file 2>&1" if you're using sh, bash, ksh, or another Bourne shell
derivative. For more information about I/O redirection, consult the
documentation for your shell or post to comp.unix.shells (check for a
FAQ list first).
