Could you provide more specifics please? What operating system are you
running on? What shell is Make using?
In the absence of any detail, I would suggest replacing your remove-file
command 'rm' with a Make variable $(RM). I also recommend using the Korn
shell if you have it available, but standard /bin/sh would be reasonable
also.
SHELL = /bin/ksh
RM = /bin/rm
<some target specification>: <some prerequisite>
$(RM) -f *.o
Make sure you have a leading tab before the $(RM) command.
