This is intentional, not an error.  See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Errors.html for information on what the "-" means.

Hello,

Please check the section at the URL here: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Cleanup

In the following example:

.PHONY : clean
clean :
        -rm edit $(objects)

This should read:

.PHONY : clean
clean :
        rm edit $(objects)
