For instance in a debian 6 system i see the mcomplexprogramtarget macro used only in the motif.rules file which in turn is included from cde.rules and that is not included by any of the platform-specific imake files;since it is unlikely that op has motif installed on ubuntu it seems more likely that this was cut paste from some example which was originally written for motif for solaris back in the 1990s when cde was supported from question Get "Makefile:1056: *** missing separator. Stop." while use make |
This also might be fixed solved in the git add mechanism in more up to date versioning i vaguely remember tracks files in directories adding tracks files in directories own .gitignore files to empty directories so i d really recommend trying to upgrade to the highest git versioning you can for that and other benefites your distro may provide by default an older versioning as ubuntu and debian do from question How to use Git for updating my directory and other contents? |

Unfortunately this ends up causing you a problem because ubuntu adopted all these packages from debian but doesn t support them in the same way as debian does and debian packagers seem to feel put upon to be asked to support these ubuntu users;so ubuntu user goes to main exim list and is told to ask their packager for help from question Exim configuration - accept all mail |
