Ocaml is not creating .o file

Question

I'm new to ocaml and ubuntu and I'm trying to compile a very simple ocaml file following this tutorial : http://wiki.njh.eu/OCaml_and_SDL

The problem is that it's not compiling I have the following error and I don't understand what to do :

cc   testsdl_1.o   -o testsdl_1
cc: testsdl_1.o: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
cc: no input files
make: *** [testsdl_1] Erreur 1

Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type cc -> In english? :P In addition makefiles are extremely obnoxious about not leaving a tab after the ':' symbol (assuming you have a newline after ':' and then the ). Make sure you do and post us your code PROPERLY intended please since it may help us here. — Kounavi, Sep 11 '11 at 18:21
The makefile code is exactly the one on the tutorial I mentionned. — JohnnyCrash, Sep 11 '11 at 18:28
I don't understand what you mean by the ':' symbol. Thanks for your help btw ;) — JohnnyCrash, Sep 11 '11 at 18:29
It's a good tutorial. P.S.: I meant that testsdl_1 cc: -> http://www.opussoftware.com/tutorial/TutMakefile.htm if you still don't understand what I mean :p — Kounavi, Sep 11 '11 at 18:34
I compile in ubuntu. I finally worked but the problem was that I didn't understood something in the tutorial. I was doing "make ./test_sdl1" instead of just "make". This is the problem of being a noob, but thanks a lot for your help I'm going to learn how to create a makefile ! — JohnnyCrash, Sep 11 '11 at 18:42

The compiler complains about the fact that testsdl_1.o does not exist, which means that it has not been generated. So, there has been an error somewhere before the lines you are quoted. You should provide more information if you want your problem to be solved (or provide a solution if you found one).
