A makefile is not a program to be run; it contains a declarative (*not* procedural) data set for the ‘make’ program. You need to invoke the ‘make’ command, tell it which file to read, and specify which target you want it to achieve. An example: $ make -f /tmp/foo/makefile spam where ‘/tmp/foo/makefile’ is the path to the file containing the data set, and ‘spam’ is the target you want ‘make’ to achieve. How do you know which target you want? You'll need that information from the author of the makefile, such as in the documentation that comes with the makefile. -- \ “I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes.
