<PRE>Dear Lloyd

I've just tried this with file layout and contents copied from your 
email, and make works fine here I'm afraid.

One odd thing I noticed in your make output ...

 &gt; /min$ make
 &gt;   ERLC   min.erl
 &gt;   APP    min .app.src
 &gt; cat: src/min: No such file or directory
 &gt; cat: .app.src: No such file or directory
 &gt; sed: can't read .app: No such file or directory
 &gt; make: *** [app] Error 2

... is that in the APP line, the filename min.app.src has a space in it, 
and it looks (in the cat lines) like it's broken down into src/min and 
.app.src (ie ./.app.src).  I can't imagine why that's happening, but 
that's what's causing the problem I should think.

 &gt; 2) How can I structure directories and make files for a project
 &gt;    that involves several applications?

I don't know if it's the &quot;correct&quot; way with erlang.mk but, as a refugee 
from rebar, I have apps set out rebar-style and use old-school recursive 
make. e.g.:

max/
   erlang.mk
   Makefile
   apps/
     app1/
       Makefile
       src/
     app2/
       Makefile
       src/

Top level Makefile doesn't need to include erlang.mk, and has lines like:

all:
	$(MAKE) -C apps/app1
	$(MAKE) -C apps/app2

Lower level Makefiles include erlang.mk.

Best wishes

Ivan

&gt;<i> Hello,

</I>&gt;<i> To secure my understanding of erlang.mk, I've been trying to create the simplest possible example I can imagine. Which gives me this:

</I>&gt;<i>     Makefile
</I>&gt;<i>     src
</I>&gt;<i>        min.app.src

</I>&gt;<i>            {env,[]},
</I>&gt;<i>            {modules,[]}]}.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> *** and min.erl is:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> -module(min).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> -export([hello/0]).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> hello() -&gt;
</I>&gt;<i>     io:format(&quot;Hello min!~n~n&quot;).

</I>&gt;<i> *** But when I call make, I get this:

</I>&gt;<i> sed: can't read .app: No such file or directory
</I>&gt;<i> make: *** [app] Error 2
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> *** Observations
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> min.erl compiles just  fine
</I>&gt;<i> min.app.src breaks the compile
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> *** Questions:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> 1) How can I correct this?
</I>&gt;<i> 2) How can I structure directories and make files for a project that involves several applications?
