Indri Lemur: issue with the make file

Question

I want to compile my indri lemur application, so i've created a folder with myapp.cpp and copied Makefile.app.in from the indri root directory to myApp/Makefile.app as explained here: Write your own app

However when I run make, I get the following errors. Is this an error specific to the toolkit or is about the compiler ?

P-MacBook-Pro:myapp aneuryzma$ make -f Makefile.app
g++ @DEFS@ @CPPFLAGS@ @CXXFLAGS@ -I@includedir@ myapp.cpp -o myapp  -L@libdir@ @LDFLAGS@ -lindri @LIBS@

thanks

Answer 1

The link states that you should copy Makefile.app, not Makefile.app.in.

You need (usually) a configure-script to build ordinary Makefiles from .in files.
