Re: Why make isn't running linker

Thanks Paul. There was no unintentional TAB, but if you
notice the the 
variable assignment
objects  := $(subst .c,.o,$(sources));, this is adding
semicolon to objects 
and when
it is used in rule main : main.o $(objects), an empty
command is interpreted 
since
make treats this rule as target : prereq ; command

Your reply gave enough clue to fix this issue ..

Regards,
Sharan
