This article was previously published under Q49502 SYMPTOMS
When the NMAKE utility processes a makefile, even though no
warnings occur and the compiler appears to execute properly, no OBJ
or EXE file is created. When the MAKE utility processes the same
makefile, the following messages appear on the screen:
warning U4000: Target does not exist.
warning U4001: Dependent does not exist; Target not built.
NMAKE may generate the following
warning D4021 : no action performed
CAUSE
This problem can occur when extra characters appear at the end of a
line in the makefile.
RESOLUTION
Modify the makefile to remove the unexpected trailing characters.
