Bad foreach 'line'

error

The foreach line has an incorrect syntax. The correct syntax is

%foreach name [ in ] list_of_values

Bad transformation macro

error

The PM/CB transformation macro had an incorrect specification.

break/continue without while/foreach

error

A %break or %continue has occurred without a preceding %while or %foreach.

Can't @include 'name'

warning

File cannot be read with the @ macro modifier.

Can't create lock in 'directory'

error

omake creates a lock file in the directory and bases the name of its response, swap, and batch files on the name of the lock file. The directory is either the value of the MAKE_TMP macro (if defined) or the current directory.

Can't %do 'name'

warning

The %do directive specified a nonexistent target name. Use @ as a shell-line prefix before the %do to inhibit this warning.

Can't find 'program' on PATH
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

omake cannot execute the current build script because the program was not found in any of the directories specified in the PATH environment variable.

Can't have : and :: dependencies for 'target'

warning

The target was given on the left side of a regular (single colon) dependency and also on the left side of a double-colon dependency. These cannot be mixed.

Can't have both .PATH.ext and VPATH.ext

error

Both .PATH.ext and VPATH.ext macros were specified, but omake does not know which macro to use to determine the search directories.

Can't open file

report or error

The version control or library file can't be opened for reading or writing.

Can't open batch file 'file'

error

When executing multiple commands (see Using Multiple-Command Build-Script Lines) the commands are written to a batch file and the batch file is then executed. The probable cause of this error is that the MAKE_TMP macro has not been set properly.

Can't open inline response file 'name'

warning

The inline response file name can't be opened for writing.

Can't open response file 'name'

warning

The automatic response file name can't be opened for writing.

Can't read makefile 'name'

warning

The makefile name can't be read.

Can't read response file 'name'

warning

The response file indicated on the command line by @name can't be read.

Can't redirect 'file'

error

The redirection for file was specified incorrectly.

Can't undefine macro 'name'

warning

The macro name can't be undefined because it is a predefined macro.

COMSPEC not found

error

The COMSPEC environment variable, used to initialize the name and flags of the shell program, was not found in the environment.

Dependency-line wildcard 'spec' is null

warning

The wildcard specification spec didn't expand to any file names.

Device error
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

Execution of the build script caused a device error.

Directive failed
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

The directive on this build script failed.

Directive nesting too deep. Max 31 levels.

error

Only 31 levels of foreach, if, and while nesting are supported, and your makefile has more than this.

%do macro missing '='

error

A %do macro was missing the equal sign that is needed for its definition. The most probable cause is that there are spaces around it. If you need spaces, enclose them (or the macro definition) in double quotes.

Don't know how to make 'target'
[ (keep working) ]

error or report

omake has exhausted all means of making target. If omake is in keep-working mode, it marks this target as unusable and abandons work on it. Use the -d (debug) and -p (print info) options to determine the cause.

else without if

error

An %else directive encountered without a preceding %if.

elseif without if

error

An %elseif directive encountered without a preceding %if.

end without while/foreach

error

An %end directive encountered without a preceding %while or %foreach.

endif without if

error

An %endif directive encountered without a preceding %if.

Exec 'command' failed

error

The %exec command directive cannot be executed.

Inline failed

warning

The current inline response file couldn't be generated correctly.

Internal error: number

error

Report the internal error number to Customer Support.

Invalid executable 'program'
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

The specified program is not a valid executable.

Invalid SHELL 'program'

warning

The specified shell program was not found.

Macro 'name' has no value

warning

A run-time macro is used before its value was set.

Macro 'name' not found

warning

The macro called name is undefined. This message appears only when the .DEBUG directive or -# command line flag has been set to 2. When debugging your makefiles, this helps catch misspellings.

Maketmp failed

error

The routine that generates temporary file names failed, probably because the directory for the temporary files is full.

Max 8 response files for 'cmd'

error

The multiple-command build script generated more than eight (the maximum) response files.

Missing character in 'name'

error

omake was looking for character to mark the end of macro name but came to the end of the line instead.

No targets on dependency line

error

The dependency line being processed had no targets on the left side.

Not enough memory to exec 'name'
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

There is not enough memory to execute the specified program name.

Nothing to make

error

No target was specified on the command line, and no default target exists in the makefiles.

Option 'letter' needs value

error

A required argument with the command-line option -letter was not specified.

Out of memory

error

omake ran out of memory. Your makefile may be too large, or omake may have installed a TSR.

Recursive macro 'name=value'

warning

The macro called name has a recursive value; the value of the macro refers to itself. omake ignores the recursion.

Regex: message

warning

The regular expression cannot be interpreted correctly; message describes the reason.

Removing target

report

The target is removed because it was modified when an error occurred in one of the build scripts that updated it. Removal prevents partially written files (such as object files) from being left behind when a compilation fails. Targets with the .PRECIOUS attribute are not removed.

Shell line exit status number
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

The most recently executed build script had a nonzero exit status of number.

Shell line too long
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

The build script exceeded the command-line limit. Use a response file. See Response Files.

Shell line without target

error

There is no target to which this build script belongs. Build scripts are indented from the left column by a tab or space character.

Test: bad expression "exp"

error

The expression exp cannot be parsed.

Test: bad first operand "op"

error

In a comparison, the first argument op cannot be parsed.

Test: bad operator "op"

error

The op is not one of the acceptable logical operators: &&, | |, and = =.

Test: bad second operand "op"

error

In a comparison, the second argument op cannot be parsed.

Test: no operand before "text"

error

There was no argument in a previous functional operator.

Test: unexpected "text"

error

The expression is finished logically, but there was more text on the line.

Test: unmatched quote "text"

error

Pairs of single or double quotes delimit strings that contain white space. A quote in text was not matched.

Test: unknown function "name"

error

An expression of the form name() has an unrecognized name.

Test: unknown operator "op"

error

The operator op is not recognized.

Test: ')' expected; got "text"

error

A right parenthesis is expected, but text was found instead.

Too many %do macros. Max of 10.

error

More than 10 macro definitions were specified for each %do directive.

Too many shell lines for 'target'

warning

A target on a regular (single colon) dependency line can be given build scripts one time only. The additional build scripts are ignored.

Unexpected what

error

The what is either end or endif, and there is no previous %foreach, %while, or %if directive.

Unknown option 'letter'

Only the command-line options listed by omake -h are acceptable.

Unknown status
[ (ignored) | (keep working) ]

error or report

The build script returned an unknown status.

Unmade 'target' due to source errors

warning

The -k flag was used to do the maximum useful work. One of target's dependencies was not made because of an error, so the target cannot be made.

Unrecognized .RESPONSE keyword 'word'

warning

The .RESPONSE directive does not accept the keyword word.

Unrecognized line 'line'

warning

omake cannot parse this line.

Unterminated inline from line number

error

The inline response file was not terminated before the end of the makefile.

Unterminated what from line number

error

The what of if, elif, or else that started on line number was not balanced before the end of the makefile was reached.

User interrupt

error

The user typed <CTRL-BREAK> or <CTRL-C> while omake was executing a build script.
