IllegalStateException when running makegraphdependencies.jar

[john-h-kastner]

When attempting to run makegraphdependencies.jar on any makefile, I get an IllegalStateException.

I have been running the jar file with make -d --dry-run | java -jar makegraphdependencies.jar after building makegraphdependencies.jar by running ant makegraphdependencies from the root of this repository. I have also tried running the jar file with make -dq | java -jar makegraphdependencies.jar with equally unsuccessful results.

The error message is the same regardless of what Makefile I use. For instance, the simple Makefile

test: main.o
    gcc -o test main.o

main.o: main.c
    gcc -c main.c

clean:
    rm *.o test

yields the error messages

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: expected Considering target file  got Finished prerequisites of target file 'Makefile'.
    at sandbox.MakeGraphDependencies.recursive(MakeGraphDependencies.java:103)
    at sandbox.MakeGraphDependencies.run(MakeGraphDependencies.java:161)
    at sandbox.MakeGraphDependencies.main(MakeGraphDependencies.java:262)

In case it's relevant, I am running it with Java 1.7.0_95 on Ubuntu 15.10

works fine here:

$ make -ndB -f jeter.mk | java -jar src/j4make/dist/j4make.jar 2> /dev/null 
digraph G {
n2[label="jeter.mk"];
n4[label="main.o"];
n3[label="test"];
n5[label="main.c"];
n1[label="<ROOT>"];
n5 -> n4;
n4 -> n3;
n2 -> n1;
n3 -> n1;
}

$ cat jeter.mk


test: main.o
    gcc -o test main.o

main.o: main.c
    gcc -c main.c

clean:
    rm *.o test

what's your version of GNU make ?

WAIT ! I thought you were talking about this tool: https://github.com/lindenb/j4make
not this old unmaintained source.
I'm closing this issue. Please ; switch to https://github.com/lindenb/j4make

Thanks for the help. I came here through some old link looking for a makefile graph generator.

I cloned j4make and it works perfectly.
