Execution error of multiple C files in Petalinux

Question

i am new with Xilinx Petalinux SDK 2016.4. I had successfully a linux operating system on the target Zybo-Z7 board. I built also a helloworld application and it's fine until now. Currently i want to test my application , which has the name test.c, with extra one header and C-file (new.c, new.h). The files test.c, new.c, new.h are located in the path:

/$Petalinux-project-dir/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-apps/test/test

test.c has the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "new.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        printf("Hello World!\n");

        return 0;
} 

new.c has the following code:

#include "new.h"

void fun(void)
{
    printf("my function!\n");

}

new.h has the following single line code:

#include <stdio.h>

Makefile has the following content:

APP = test

# Add any other object files to this list below
APP_OBJS = test.o
APP_OBJS += new.o


all: build

build: $(APP)

$(APP): $(APP_OBJS)
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(APP_OBJS) $(LDLIBS)

clean:
    $(RM) $(APP) $(OBJS)

finally, bitbake file test.bb:

#
# This file is the test recipe.
#

SUMMARY = "Simple test application"
SECTION = "PETALINUX/apps"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"

SRC_URI = "file://test.c \
           file://new.c \
           file://new.h \
           file://Makefile \
          "

S = "${WORKDIR}"

do_compile() {
         oe_runmake
}

do_install() {
         install -d ${D}${bindir}
         install -m 0755 test ${D}${bindir}
         install -m 0755 new ${D}${bindir}
}

then i tried to build the application by typing the command:

petalinux-build -c test -x build 

but i am getting the following error message in the log.do_configure :

DEBUG: Executing python function sysroot_cleansstate
DEBUG: Python function sysroot_cleansstate finished
DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
NOTE: make clean
make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.

petalinux-build -c test -x build

i had the following in console:

I tried: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Linux/How-to-build-when-multiple-source-files-in-rootfs-of-petalinux/td-p/780949 and https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/67189.html and also this similar problem How to build when multiple source files in rootfs in embedded linux? but it doesn't work!

can you please help me?

There is no clean target in your makefile. Try:

APP := test

APP_OBJS := test.o new.o

.PHONY: all build clean

all: build

build: $(APP)

$(APP): $(APP_OBJS)
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(APP_OBJS) $(LDLIBS)

clean:
    $(RM) $(APP) $(OBJS)
