make Error - make: c: Command not found

make Error - make: c: Command not found
First time poster here. Excited to get started w/ my research!

I'm trying to build and compile a chemical mechanism solver.

In the code, of main.mk I have the following line

%.o: %.f90
$(F90) $(F90FLAGS) $(LINCLUDES) -c $<

For some reason that is giving me an error because of the c. The error is this and is repeated about ten times for ten different files.

c messy_main_constants_mem.f90
make: c: Command not found
make: [messy_main_constants_mem.o] Error 127 (ignored)

Thanks a bunch for all of your help!

This is because the make variables F90, F90FLAGS and LINCLUDES are not set, so $(F90), $(F90FLAGS) and $(LINCLUDES) evaluate to empty strings - this brings the command down to -c $<. Obviously, there is no standard command/binary with the name c, so the error - command not found.

NB.: When a make command starts with -, the meaning of - is to suppress stderr.

Thanks,

I figured out my issue. I had unblocked a manual compiler options block which was setting all of my compiler options to blanks.

I got that up and running and now I am having further issues, but ones that are directly related to the automatic configuration of the program's input files.

Thanks again,

Luke
