title: make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop
body: <p>I was walking through <a href="http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex2.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial, where I had to create this <code>make</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code> CFLAGS=-wall  -g
  
   clean:
     rm  -f  ex1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I type this command:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>$ make clean</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I made sure that I'm using TABS. Why am I getting this error? How can I solve it?</p>
