Nothing to be done for '.' when I make #87

Closed 619 closed 4 years ago

619 commented 4 years ago

How to reproduce: follow the instructions, error happens at "make ." OS: MacOS Catalina Error Message: make: Nothing to be done for `.'.

ToxicFrog commented 4 years ago

It's just make with no . on the end. The . in the documentation is the end of the sentence that the instruction to make appears in.

619 commented 4 years ago

Why does that sentence need to have a period at the end of it? 🤡Especially with "command" . having a specific meaning (git add .)

ToxicFrog commented 4 years ago

Consistency with the others? I think I could just delete the periods from every entry in that list, it just never occurred to me to do so because (On My Machine™) the commands are enclosed in grey boxes, clearly separating them from the rest of the text -- perhaps that styling doesn't work in all browsers?
