Error “ ~/workspace/strings/ $ make string make: *** No rule to make target `string'. Stop.”

Question

I am following David in week one with the c coding. every time I run my code I get the following error ~/workspace/strings/ $ make string make: *** No rule to make target `string'. Stop.

How do I find out what the error means and ways of fixing it?

Answer 1

It's saying that it couldn't find a file in the current directory named string.c Do you have a file named string.c in your ~/workspace/strings/ directory?
