Makefile executes correctly in Windows but not Linux

Question

I have a project which compiles swimmingly in windows using make but fails in linux. It's failing during implicit compilation to object files (I'll post an excerpt):

I tried doing make -nd in both windows and linux, and the first thing that happens in windows is all the *.o files are generated, while in linux it directly goes to the linking step. However, I am lost as to why that's happening because from looking at the makefile, I can't recognize the platform dependencies. I'd appreciate any hints about what I'm doing wrong, thank you! My makefile is:

Hi Eugene, sorry for the confusion, I added the error message to make it clear. — Adeesh Lemonickous, May 02 '18 at 14:08
What happens if you try building "$(EXE_PATH)/$(APP_NAME).elf"? — Chris Turner, May 02 '18 at 14:13

It's surprising that this works on Windows. There are a number of things that are problematic in this makefile. One:

OBJS = $(addprefix $(OBJ_PATH)/, $(notdir %/$(subst .c,.o,$(CSRCS))))

This is confusing. notdir doesn't do anything with patterns so adding the %/ (only to the first argument!) is not doing anything. Also using subst is not a good idea because it changes every instance of .c even if it appears in the middle of a file; for example ../x.comp.c would change to ../x.oomp.o. This line should be:

OBJS = $(patsubst %.c,$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o,$(notdir $(CSRCS)))

Next, this is not right:

$(OBJ_PATH)/%.o: $(SRCS)
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(filter %/$(subst .o,.c,$(notdir $@)), $(SRCS)) -o $@

This makes every object file depend on all the source files, so if you change any source file every object file will be rebuilt. You might as well just create a shell script rather than using make. That's why you have to go through contortions in the recipe to find the C file you want to compile. Better would be to use VPATH. Also you need to have the -c option in your compiler line to build object files... I can't see it added to your CFLAGS but best practice doesn't put it there anyway:

vpath %.c $(sort $(dir $(CSRCS)))
$(OBJ_PATH)/%.o: %.c
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

Next, this line is not good:

$(OBJS): directories

This will rebuild all objects whenever the directories target needs to be rebuilt, which is always because no rule ever creates that target: the directories target never creates a file named directories so it's always out of date.

All that being said, I can't explain the error you're seeing. The linker is complaining about a file that doesn't exist, but that file is (apparently) a prerequisite of the target which means if it didn't exist then make would try to create it, or complain if it couldn't.

After fixing your makefile I recommend running make -d (redirect to a file since the output will be significant) and search for the configServer.o target and see what make has to say about it.

Hey, those are some great comments, thanks a lot. I had just moderately modified the makefile that Atmel gives with Bitcloud, so the problems with name manipulation, I knew of and have planned to improve soon. Last night I did exactly the thing you said, I took the `make -d` from both windows and linux and started going through the diff of both. Will update soon on what I find. — Adeesh Lemonickous, May 03 '18 at 05:04
