Title: I found a strange "bug" about makefile.
Post by: norsd on November 02, 2008, 09:13:51 pm

C::B Ver,8.02
WinXP SP2

When I edited the makefile in C::B, I found if I enter a TAB for the beginning of a command of a makefile item, then , C::B would tell me " missing separator ".
That was a big trouble for me , what was wrong with me?
Finally, I found there was all right with me . It's just the C::B!
Once I enter a TAB in NodePad or something like that, there would be all right!

How ridiculous it is!
As an IDE , it is hard to edit the makefile :><~
Or the "bug"  occurs only in my computer?

My guess:
Don't use space for indentation but rather use tabs

I guess you don't have "Settings -> Editor... -> General Settings -> TAB options -> Use TAB character" checked.
In this case you have spaces instead of a TAB character.

EDIT:

Eran was a minute faster.

But I'm always using tabs. :)
