Question

I downloaded the source code from codeplex but 'make' errors out:

[pc@localhost typescript]$ make Makefile:123: * missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.

The offending line is apparently the 3rd line here:

$(BUILT_LOCAL)\typescript.js: $(COMPILER_SOURCES)
$(STRC_LKG) $(COMPILER_SOURCES) -out $@
    copy CopyrightNotice.txt+$@ $(BUILT_LOCAL)\temp.js /b
    copy $(BUILT_LOCAL)\temp.js $@ 
    del $(BUILT_LOCAL)\temp.js

I appreciate the help!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Like @JoePamer pointed out in the comments, it's an NMake file not a GNU Makefile. So this has nothing to do with "make"

If you want to build TypeScript with "make" on Linux. Check this out:
