Hi ,

I just can't seem to invoke MAKE on a makefile !

The error that I got is the following :

makefile:2: *** missing separator.  Stop.


What does that mean ?? It drives me crazy.. I know that make needs real
tabs in MAKEFILE . Since DOS EDIT doesn't support real tab , I had got VIM
, which is similiar to VI in UNIX , to write a makefile but the same error
still appears.

Here's how my makefile looks :

program.exe: mainsrc.o printer.o header.o
        gcc -o program.exe mainsrc.o printer.o header.o

mainsrc.o: mainsrc.c printer.h header.h
        gcc -c mainsrc.o mainsrc.c

printer.o: printer.c printer.h
        gcc -c printer.o printer.c

header.o: header.c header.h
        gcc -c header.o header.c

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//mainsrc.c :

#include <stdio.h>


#include "header.h"
#include "printer.h'

void main(void) {

  header1();
  header2();

  print1();
  print2();
}


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// header.h

void header1() ;
void header2();

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// header.c

#include "header.h"

void header1(void) {
  printf("Header 1\n");
}

void header2(void) {
  printf("Header 2\n");
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// printer.h

void print1();
void print2();

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// printer.c

#include "printer.h"

void print1(void) {
 printf("Print 1\n");
}

void print2(void) {
 printf("Print 2\n");
}

Thanks for reading  through the code !
