c - recipe for target 'all' failed on Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit -

1) program works if type each command on terminal gcc -o file1 file1.c && gcc file2.c -lm -o file2, , ./file1 someargs ./file2 someargs

2) works if type in terminal: make rst , make res

3) not working typing make in terminal

makefile:

all:     check  default:     check  clean:     rm -rf file1 file2  rst:     gcc -o file1 file1.c && gcc file2.c -lm -o file2  res:     ./file1 someargs ./file2 someargs  check:     make clean     make rst     make res 

also tried:

all:     check  default:     check  clean:     rm -rf file1 file2  rst:     gcc -o file1 file1.c && gcc file2.c -lm -o file2  res:     ./file1 someargs ./file2 someargs  check:     clean     rst     res 

and other combinations or without make. same error:

make: check: command not found makefile:2: recipe target 'all' failed make: *** [all] error 127 

the first target all trying run command called check (and target default). think want command make behave same command make check , perform actions of target called check in makefile. in case, add dependency this:

all: check  default: check  clean:     rm -rf file1 file2  rst:     gcc -o file1 file1.c && gcc file2.c -lm -o file2  res:     ./file1 someargs ./file2 someargs  check:     make clean     make rst     make res
