make: Nothing to be done for 'all'. in Omnet - makefile

After Installng Omnetpp 5.5.1 in Ubuntu 18.04 ,For any folder in Omnetpp, make command is not making any sense.
As it showing the following message:
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
Even suggested methods on Internet are not working in my case.Please help.
My makefile is following for Aloha Folder.

This aforementioned file is missing some information like c++ INCLUDE_PATH and EXTRA_OBJS and LIBS.Is this the reason for not being run?Please Help.

The makefile says that 'Nothing to be done' because the executable is present and up to date, so it is indeed nothing to be done. This is not an error.
As you have indicated, you can execute ./aloha and then that throws a runtime error. This is NOT related to the build process.

How to change the Makefile to create object file?

I am following a code from GitHub (https://github.com/dmalhotra/pvfmm).
There is a Fortran file in ./examples/src/example-f.f90. I have created a subroutine from this example-f.f90 so that I can make an object file out of it and can call this subroutine in our in-house code. The installation guide is given here (https://github.com/dmalhotra/pvfmm/blob/develop/INSTALL).
The Makefile to compile the example-f.f90 is as (https://github.com/dmalhotra/pvfmm/blob/develop/examples/Makefile):
ifndef PVFMM_DIR
PVFMM_DIR=./..
endif
-include $(PVFMM_DIR)/MakeVariables
ifndef CXX_PVFMM
$(error Cannot find file: MakeVariables)
endif
# FC=$(FC_PVFMM) # TODO: for now, FC must be provided by user
# CC=$(CC_PVFMM) # TODO: for now, CC must be provided by user
CXX=$(CXX_PVFMM)
CXXFLAGS=$(CXXFLAGS_PVFMM)
LDLIBS=$(LDLIBS_PVFMM)
RM = rm -f
MKDIRS = mkdir -p
BINDIR = ./bin
SRCDIR = ./src
OBJDIR = ./obj
INCDIR = ./include
TARGET_BIN = \
$(BINDIR)/example1 \
$(BINDIR)/example2 \
$(BINDIR)/example-sctl \
$(BINDIR)/fmm_pts \
$(BINDIR)/fmm_cheb
all : $(TARGET_BIN)
$(BINDIR)/%: $(SRCDIR)/%.f90
-#$(MKDIRS) $(dir $#)
$(PVFMM_DIR)/libtool --mode=link --tag=FC $(FC) $(CXXFLAGS) -I$(INCDIR) $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $#
...
The MakeVariables can be found in the above link.
I changed this make file so that I can make an object file of example-f.f90 (subroutine, I converted as I told before to link it in our in-house code) and also other files in our in-house code and link at the end. The new makefile looks like:
ifndef PVFMM_DIR
PVFMM_DIR=./..
endif
-include $(PVFMM_DIR)/MakeVariables
ifndef CXX_PVFMM
$(error Cannot find file: MakeVariables)
endif
FC_PVMM = mpif90
FC = mpif90
FC=$(FC_PVFMM) # TODO: for now, FC must be provided by user
CC=$(CC_PVFMM) # TODO: for now, CC must be provided by user
CXX=$(CXX_PVFMM)
CXXFLAGS=$(CXXFLAGS_PVFMM)
LDLIBS=$(LDLIBS_PVFMM)
RM = rm -f
MKDIRS = mkdir -p
BINDIR = ./bin
SRCDIR = ./src
OBJDIR = ./obj
INCDIR = ./include
all : $(project_final)
project_final: $(project)
$(PVFMM_DIR)/libtool --mode=link --tag=FC mpif90 $(CXXFLAGS) -I$(INCDIR) $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $#
project: example-f.o
cd ./src && $(MAKE)
example-f.o: $(SRCDIR)/example-f.f90
$(PVFMM_DIR)/libtool --mode=link --tag=FC mpif90 $(CXXFLAGS) -I$(INCDIR) $^ $(LDLIBS) -c $#
...
Kindly note 'project: example-f.o
cd ./src && $(MAKE)' doing to make object files of our inhouse code. In src we have separate makefile to create object files for out in-house code.
But it gives me the following:
cd ./examples && make;
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bidesh/Coding/FMM/pvfmm-1.3.0/examples'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/bidesh/Coding/FMM/pvfmm-1.3.0/examples'
How can I modify the makefile so that I can compile the whole code that includes example-f.f90 (subroutine) along with other subroutines (in-house code)?
Thanks a lot.

makefile removing uname command

I want to just run make in windows cmd. Goal is just that i can run make in default windows CMD without that i need run make inside MSYSY or CYGWIN.
When i run make command inside windows cmd it shows message:
'uname' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname -m, ...) failed.

Look here:
UNAME := $(shell uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
You run $(shell uname ...). That starts a shell and runs the command given. If you run make so that it uses cmd.exe as its shell without msys or Cygwin, then it's as if you typed uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' at your cmd.exe prompt, which obviously will fail as you've seen.
If you want to avoid msys or Cygwin then you have to fix ALL of your makefile to not use any POSIX commands, including here.

compiling *.C and *.S sources from same directory 'make'

I have been working with a project that only compiles C sources but I've found I need some assembler too, I'm reticent to inline the asm code in a C file as GCC may not interpret it correctly.
My predecesor created the makefile for the project (apologies, it's fairly long):

I want to also bring in and compile two .S files, so, I edited the following line
SOURCES := $(shell find $(SRCDIR) -type f -name *.$(SRCEXT) -or -name *.$(ASMEXT))
To bring in the .S files, then I edited the OBJECTS to also include the ASM sources ("*.S")
OBJECTS := $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%,$(BUILDDIR)/%,$(SOURCES:.$(SRCEXT)=.$(OBJEXT)),$(SOURCES:.$(ASMEXT)=.$(OBJEXT)))
But when recompiling with 'make all' I'm getting:
$ make all
make: *** No rule to make target `obj/asi_access.S', needed by `icu_asw'. Stop.
I don't suppose someone could spot where I am going wrong? I think I have not correctly added to the OBJECTS line!
Thanks
The expression $(var:.ext1=.ext2) does not filter by .ext1, i.e.
$(SOURCES:.$(SRCEXT)=.$(OBJEXT)) $(SOURCES:.$(ASMEXT)=.$(OBJEXT))
gives for a test source list the following result
a.o b.o c.S a.c b.c c.o
I.e. you duplicated your files and you have source files in the OBJECTS definition.
The following would be a correct approach:
OBJECTS := $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%,$(BUILDDIR)/%, \
$(patsubst %.$(SRCEXT),%.$(OBJEXT), \
$(patsubst %.$(ASMEXT),%.$(OBJEXT),$(SOURCES)) \
) \
)
UPDATE: you should consider to use 2 separate object lists, so that you can apply different rules for them, e.g.
SOURCES_C := $(filter %.$(SRCEXT),$(SOURCES))
OBJECTS_C := $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%,$(BUILDDIR)/%,$(SOURCES_C:%.$(SRCEXT)=%.$(OBJEXT)))
SOURCES_ASM := $(filter %.$(ASMEXT),$(SOURCES))
OBJECTS_ASM := $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%,$(BUILDDIR)/%,$(SOURCES_ASM:%.$(ASMEXT)=%.$(OBJEXT)))
$(OBJECTS_C): $(BUILDDIR)/%.$(OBJEXT): $(SRCDIR)/%.$(SRCEXT)
.... C compiler recipe ....
$(OBJECTS_ASM): $(BUILDDIR)/%.$(OBJEXT): $(SRCDIR)/%.$(ASMEXT)
.... assembler recipe ....
$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS_C) $(OBJECTS_ASM) | directories

Get make to recompile only unchanged source files

I'm trying to get my Makefile to compile only changed source files. In the Makefile below, I would like the targets: %.o : ${SOURCE_DIR}/%.c and %.o : ${SOURCE_DIR}/%.s to only compile if the source file has changed, or the corresponding .o object file does not exist.
Not entirely sure what's wrong here, can someone please offer some advice?

This rule:
%.o : ${SOURCE_DIR}/%.c # --> Execute only if source changed!!!
#echo "Compiling $<"
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $(OUT_DIR)/$#
The problem is that the target of this rule is main.o, so Make uses it in an attempt to build main.o, because another target demands main.o, but what this rule actually builds is Build/main.o. Make keeps running this rule because it sees that main.o isn't there (and the rule for the elf file uses Build/main.o, which Make keeps rebuilding unawares).
I suggest you change it:
OBJECTS = $(patsubst %.c, $(OUT_DIR)/%.o, $(C_SOURCES))
$(OUT_DIR)/%.o : ${SOURCE_DIR}/%.c # --> this should work
#echo "Compiling $<"
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $#
The same goes for the other %.o rule.

Makefile dependency issue

I'm trying to compile an example code where I added a new file under a new directory but I keep getting a dependency problem.

I'm not understanding the Makefile completely as it's a code example I'm simply expanding.
For the record: The error "fatal error: opening dependency file [...]: No such file or directory" can also be caused by a too long path. Happened to me on Cygwin/Windows with a path that was way over 200 characters (didn't check exactly).
Got it working.
Needed to add a rule to create the output directories.
So I added
ifeq (,$(wildcard bin/$(PROFILE)/obj/interface))
$(shell $(MKDIR) -p bin/$(PROFILE)/obj/interface)
endif
This makefile is pretty convoluted, so a certain amount of guesswork is required, but I think the trouble is that it doesn't know how to find interface/ipc.c. Try adding this line at the bottom and see if helps:
vpath %.c interface
If it doesn't, we can try some other things. (And if it does, I can suggest some ways to simplify the makefile.)
