Problems compiling makefile-CodePudding

everyone. Firstly, I would like to say that I don't know much about programming. I am trying to run a software in a Mac for my phD. I am following the steps to compile the software and they are simple: I just need to add the correct directory and then execute the command make, because that is a makefile in the target folder. However, I keep getting the error message

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This is was terminal shows when I type make:

p-oz-nb030mc:Match pferreira$ make

And this is the make file:

clean: 
    rm -f *.o match *~ match.exe match.log *.new xmatch score_matrix

tar:
    sed '/\S/ ! d;s/^/Match-${VERSION}\//' ../manifest > ../manifest.tmp
    tar -cz -C ../.. -f ../match-${VERSION}.tgz -T ../manifest.tmp

check-manifest:
    cd .. && find . -type f | sed 's/^.\///' | grep -v ,v | sort > manifest.tmp
    sort ../manifest > ../manifest.tmp1
    diff ../manifest.tmp1 ../manifest.tmp; true
    pwd | grep 'Match-${VERSION}/' > /dev/null || (echo version mismatch; false)

Does anyone have a clue on what is happening? I did not make this file, I just need to run it. I downloaded the version 2.3.1 from here: https://lorraine-lisiecki.com/match.html

I searched the error online but I could not fix it.

Thank you for your help

CodePudding user response：

The makefile calls for five object files to be linked to create the target binary "match". It contains rules appropriate for building all of those from corresponding C source files present in the same directory.

The make output shows only two of the object files being built before the attempt to link the final target. That tells me that files with the names expected for the other three object files already existed, and that they were not older than the corresponding sources. Those are the same three that the linker rejects. It seems likely, therefore, that the source package you downloaded contains some pre-built object files that are wrong for your machine. Their inclusion was probably accidental.

The makefile also contains a clean target that should remove the erroneous object files, among other things. You can run make clean to trigger it. Run make or make all again afterward. I can't promise you that the build will succeed, but at least you should not have the same problem.
