Makefile Help

[adi26]

I am having a small problem in my output of makefile. After making my executable via 'make' I wish to execute my executable file but it gives me an error:
/code
$: make

gcc -c main.c
gcc -c merge.c
gcc -c mergesort.c
gcc -o prog main.o merge.o mergesort.o
424238335 596516649 719885386 846930886 1189641421 1649760492 1681692777 1714636915 1804289383 1957747793
make: 424238335: Command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127
code/

I do get the desired output , but whats with the "ERROR 127" and why does 'make' try to execute the first instance of my output.

My makefile looks like this:
/code

.SUFFIXES: .o .c
.c.o:
gcc -c $*.c

all: prog
$(shell ./prog)

prog: main.o merge.o mergesort.o
gcc -o $@ $^

clean:
rm *.o prog

code/

hi,

I don't understand what you're trying to do with the $(shell ...) bit.
I think

all: prog
        ./prog

should do fine.

cheers, kai
