While running make, I obtain the following error:
make: *** No rule to make target `amino_acid_par am.h', needed by
`pdb2txt_relax. o'. Stop.
I'm confused, since header files (*.h) shouldn't need rules because
they're not compiled. What can I do?
Below is the makefile. Note that this makefile calls another makefile, and
it seems the error comes from this fact.

Note that this newsgroup is about the C++ programming language, and not
about any build tools, so you're clearly off-topic here.

make doesn't know what a header file is. You just give it rules that
tell it which target files depend on which source files and how to
generate those targets from the sources. If a source file doesn't
exist, make in turn tries to find another rule that tells it how to
generate it from other sources.
You're specifying a file amino_acid_para m.h as source in some rules, but
that file doesn't seem to exist, so make tries to find a rule to build
that file, which you didn't provide.

Post to a newsgroup where this is on topic. comp.lang.c++ is about
C++ _language_, not about build tools. Those are usually platform-

(This is slightly off-topic for this group, but I just
happen to know the cause and cure for your problem, so
here goes....)
Your make file says "compile amino_acid_para m.h as a
source file". Obviously not what you want.
What you need are separate lines to express header
dependencies, withOUT action lines immediately
below them:
pdb2txt_relax.o : amino_acid_para m.h atom_param.h
pdb2txt_relax.o : miscellanea.h random.h
pdb2txt_relax.o : pdb2txt_relax.c pp
(TAB) g++ -Wno-deprecated -c pdb2txt_relax.c pp
(TAB) echo pdb2txt_relax has been compiled.
Pay careful attention to the "(TAB)". "Action"
lines must always begin with an actual Tab character
(use your "Tab" key). Dependency lines must NOT
start with a Tab.
Note that you can have many dependency lines for one
target, but only one of these may have "action" lines
immediately under it. The dependency line with the
actions associated should list your source files,
and the dependency lines with NO actions associated
should list your headers. That way, you don't end up
trying to compile headers.

Hi Robbie,
I split the dependencies into header ans source files as you
described, but with no success !
It seems the problem comes from the fact that I have the
header files in a different directories than the makefile.
I specified these directories in variable VPATH, but it seems this doesn't
work.
In the GNU-Make manual (pag 21), it says that "make" will search files
located in all directories specified in VPATH , but this is obviously not
working !
Anybody used VPATH before ?

Also this project1 should be able to be invoked from any directory.

Hi again all.
Given the line:
const int x=5;
Can I then use "x" as a constant expression? (By "constant expression", I
mean "constant expression" as defined in the C99 standard)
I've been searching google for 2 days now trying to answer this myself,
and I'm just getting more and more confused (some things I read make me
think "yes", while some things I read make me think "no").
