Receiving a "Target Pattern Contains no ‘%’ error" Error Message

This is a blackbox bug that exists only in v4.6.0, in which the associated object (*.o) file fails to generate when using the GFortran compiler, due to blackbox incorrectly using quotations in some of the file paths in the *.mak file.

One solution is to switch to either v4.5.5 or v4.6.1.

Or, the other solution is to continue to use v4.6.0, but manually correct your v4.6.0 *.mak file, and then use it to generate a *.o file by calling the make utility directly via the command prompt, as follows:

  • Open the command prompt window and navigate to the folder where the make file resides.
  • Type in the following:

make -f <filename>.mak

  • An object file (*.o) will be created in that folder for you.

To view samples of .mak files, please refer to the attached files:

  • InvCtl_1_460.mak is an incorrectly generated make file made in v4.6.0
  • InvCtl_1_461.mak is a correctly generated make file made in v4.6.1
