Question

Why can't my makefile compiled?

My Makefile is like this:

execute: Main.o Student.o Course.o Enrollment.o PrintData.o StoreData.o LoadData.o
   g++ -o execute Main.o Student.o Course.o Enrollment.o PrintData.o StoreData.o LoadData.o
Main.o: Main.cpp Student.h Course.h Enrollment.h PrintData.h StoreData.h LoadData.h
   g++ -c Main.cpp
Student.o: Student.cpp Student.h
   g++ -c Student.cpp
Course.o: Course.cpp Course.h
   g++ -c Course.cpp
Enrollment.o: Enrollment.cpp Student.h Course.h Enrollment.h
   g++ -c Enrollment.cpp
PrintData.o: PrintData.cpp Student.h Course.h Enrollment.h PrintData.h
   g++ -c PrintData.cpp
StoreData.o: StoreData.cpp Student.h Course.h Enrollment.h StoreData.h
   g++ -c StoreData.cpp
LoadData.o: LoadData.cpp Student.h Course.h Enrollment.h LoadData.h
   g++ -c LoadData.cpp
clean:
   rm *.o execute
run:
   make execute && ./execute

My main:

#include "Student.h"
#include "Course.h"
#include "Enrollment.h"
#include "PrintData.h"
#include "StoreData.h"
#include "LoadData.h"

Student.cpp : #include "Student.h"

Course.cpp: #include "Course.cpp"

Enrollment.cpp: #include "Enrollment.h"
#include "Course.h"
#include "Student.h"

PrintData.cpp:

#include "Enrollment.h"
#include "Student.h"
#include "Course.h"
#include "PrintData.h"

StoreData.cpp:

#include "Enrollment.h"
#include "Student.h"
#include "Course.h"
#include "StoreData.h"

LoadData.cpp

#include "Enrollment.h"
#include "Student.h"
#include "Course.h"
#include "LoadData.cpp"

I cant run my make file to compile? It keeps giving me "Nothing to be done", or "No targets specificed and no makefile found. Stop". Please help

Answer 1

Solution:

Executed this makefile by creating the (dummy)required files..

Makefile is working fine. As mentioned in the please check the path for the files required by the makeFile.

Screenshots:

Output:

1) Before make...

make

3) After make..

As you can see that the object file(Main.o) is created in the current directory. So please make sure the required files are present in the same directory.. or else the path for those is mentioned correctly..
