Makefile:40: recipe for target 'gnt.pdf' failed

[JohnPaulQiangChen]

$make
turns out:
pdflatex -halt-on-error gnt < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 Makefile:40: recipe for target 'gnt.pdf' failed make: *** [gnt.pdf] Error 1

Ok, and what does the log file say?

Several places lead to : ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \protect !

1. I need to comment out \clp as below

\begin{document} \pagenumbering{roman} \input tex/title%\clp \input tex/intro \input tex/alphabet%\clp \bibtableofcontents \null%\clp % this \clp cause Error

2. I could only delete the half contents in intro.tex so as to compile successfully.

The Log reads:

Ah, sorry, brother! I must have forgotten to put some of the files when I put the repository under github control. I will compare with the full source tree and figure out what is missing.

I see from your profile that you are a PhD in astrophysics and interested in typesetting. I will gladly share my experience in the typesetting area as I have produced many Bibles in both Hebrew and koine Greek using LaTeX.
