I'm writing a report with multiple programming languages. At the moment I'm trying to include a Makefile.

When I do:

\lstinputlisting[language=make]{./Kodeeksempler/makefile}

I get the following error compiling with texlive in texmaker:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.22 ]{./Kodeeksempler/makefile}

Line 22 of the makefile in question contains the following:

BUILD_DIR=build/host

.. So I know the error message is wrong, as that should be able to display fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The same occurs when I try to do lstlisting around the makefile regularly like so:

\begin{lstlisting}
clean:
     $(RM) ./build
     $(RM) ./bin
     @echo "Static libraries persist in ./lib"

     ${BUILD_DIR}/%.d: %.cpp
     $(CXX) -MT ${BUILD_DIR}/$(@:.d=.o) -MM $(CXXFLAGS) $^ > $@

-include $(DEPS)
\end{lstlisting}

EDIT:

I seem to have narrowed down that the error occurs around the line:

-include $(DEPS)

When I remove it, lstlisting includes it just fine.

EDIT2: This is the lstset I use in my preamble:

 \lstset{language=make,                 % Sprog
     basicstyle=\ttfamily\scriptsize,       % Opsaetning af teksten
     keywords={for,if,while,else,elseif,        % Noegleord at fremhaeve
          end,break,return,case,
          switch,function},
     keywordstyle=\color{blue},             % Opsaetning af noegleord
     commentstyle=\color{commentGreen},     % Opsaetning af kommentarer
     stringstyle=\color{stringPurple},      % Opsaetning af strenge
     showstringspaces=false,                    % Mellemrum i strenge enten vist eller blanke
     numbers=left, numberstyle=\tiny,       % Linjenumre
     extendedchars=true,                    % Tillader specielle karakterer
    columns=flexible,                       % Kolonnejustering
    breaklines, breakatwhitespace=true,     % Bryd lange linjer
}

I have noticed that even when I omit the last part of the makefile, it seems to work.

EDIT3:

So I found the issue! Appearently the @ key was used as an escape character for an old lstset for C code, and it came back in as a result of a merge conflict. Line 199 in the preamble contained the following:

 \lstset{escapechar=@,style=customc}

I removed it, and now it works. Thank you all for your patience.

    Define special characters? Is the file uf8? As always on this site we prefer full examples we can copy and (attempt to) compile without having to add anything – daleif Oct 05 '15 at 19:00
  • I have updated my question now. I finally seem to have narrowed down where the issue is. – Martin Oct 05 '15 at 19:56

    But please update it to a complete example, there is no preamble, no documentclass. If you add up complete example, the ever present mwe, then it is a lot easier to help you – daleif Oct 05 '15 at 19:58
  • you must have a \lstset in your document or the document class. And I suppose that you have the option mathescape set. –  Oct 05 '15 at 20:02
  • @Herbert: I don't think that's the problem: if you make a minimal document with just \usepackage{listings} in the preamble and the Makefile from the question, it compiles fine. – Arun Debray Oct 05 '15 at 20:07
