problem with latest makefile (Sept 10)

[donguiyo]

I just retrieved update 108.

when I type makefile (after configuring it and after configuring Linux-ifort.mk) I get:

$ make
makefile *** missing separator. Stop.

thx for any help

I just did an update on the roms trunk and line 100 of the makefile has:
USE_MPI ?=
Did you make any changes to this line?
IF you want to use mpi, then set
USE_MPI ?= on

What does "make --version" give you? Make sure it is a very recent GNU make.

[donguiyo]

thx Kate, GNU version is okay I think: 3.80

I paste below line 100 and the next few ones (first one is line 100):

<<<<<<< .mine
<<<<<<<mine>>>>>>> .r41
>>>>>>> .r40

Your makefile has the <<< stuff in it? Those are the residue of an svn update or merge running into a conflict. You have to delete those lines. Anytime you get a C from "svn update" and extra files with names like makefile.r41, you have to clean things up before moving on.

"svn status" can show you the existence of such new bogus files.

thx again Kate. That got ride of that error message but now it complains about the following:
$ make
mv ./Compilers/MakeDepend ./Compilers/MakeDepend.orig
mv: cannot stat `./Compilers/MakeDepend': No such file or directory
make: *** [Compilers/MakeDepend] Error 1

When I used previous versions the MakeDepend file was already there. Do we have to retrieve it apart? thx.

try
svn status
and see if it is missing

Just touch it to create an empty file. It looks like it's moving it to .orig then making the up-to-date version of it.
