Meaty Skeleton whitespace

[sham1]

So yeah. I tried to make my start with my OS using the Meaty Skeleton-tutorial. But, when I try to compile the kernel, this happens: http://pastebin.com/nst9Mt8G.

Lets just say that it is really annoying, when I cant seem to find the right backslash to remove.

Just a quick guess...

The ARCH_HOSTEDOBJS is empty, maybe rem this from the 2nd parameter under OBJS in libc/Makefile

Code: Select all

HOSTEDOBJS:=\
$(ARCH_HOSTEDOBJS) \

OBJS:=\
$(FREEOBJS) \
$(HOSTEDOBJS) \

to

Code: Select all

HOSTEDOBJS:=\
$(ARCH_HOSTEDOBJS) \

OBJS:=\
$(FREEOBJS) \
#$(HOSTEDOBJS) \

The issue turned out to be that his editor didn't properly terminate the last line with a \n character. Unix lines are terminated, not separated, so any begun line must end in a \n character.

Additionally, he didn't catch that copying directly from the rendered wiki caused blank lines to be replaced with a single space.
