Hello I'm trying to build intel's tbb (threaded building blocks) from source. I have downloaded and extracted the source. I point visual studio's command prompt to the directory of extraction, where there is a makefile. I have edited the tbb_root variable inside the make file to point at the extracted directory, but when I tried running it I get
Makefile(28) : fatal error U1052: file '$(tbb_root)/build/common.inc' not found Stop.
Lines 27 and 28 of the make file are as follows (all previous lines are comments/whitespace)
tbb_root=c:/tbb_extract/tbb42_20140122oss
include $(tbb_root)/build/common.inc
I have verified that c:/tbb_extract/tbb42_20140122oss/build/common.inc exists, so why does this fellow not make!
Thanks Thomas
The answer was simple one - the file seems to of been assembled a kind of half GNU half VS-style makefile. It was a cannibalisation and I don't think it was ever tested.
