make: *** No rule to make target `Rules.make'. Stop.

Does anyone know what this means ?! Anytime I try to run 'make' recently I get this error. It's a real pain as I can't build anything from source at the moment...I'm running FC6, kernel 2.6.19-1.2895.

Thanks !

Hello:
I have not had any issue with make other than self-inflicted

Does this happen on a specific application and it so can you provide the name of the package ?

It happens on any application I try to build with 'make'......about four or five so far..

Hello:
Can you provide one of the packages [a link] and I would glad to test it and see if the same thing happens here?

I have the same problem, madwifi-0.9.2.1, vstpd which I tried from source. Says build symlink broken and sure enough after checking the symlink is broke.

With so little information to go on it's hard to tell for sure. Unlike you where...

I don't have this problem with any application I compile. Taking a wild guess though, it sounds like maybe you haven't properly configured the makefile. Did you run the ./configure command first? How about posting the name of at least one package with this problem.

I'm downloading madwifi-0.9.2.1 right now and will take a shot at compiling it.

Okay, I just downloaded and did a make on madwifi-0.9.2.1 and it makes just fine. On the other hand, if I delete the Makefile, I get exactly the error in the title of the thread. Looks like either you deleted the makefile or you're not running make in the right directory.

Thanks for your earlier reply

Do you have kernel development and headers, and gcc installed?

yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc

OuldeFauder · #11 11th February 2007, 08:42 PM

I did before I made the changes but am now doing it again. Will get back to you.Thanks Parish

OuldeFauder · #12 11th February 2007, 08:43 PM

Still getting the same thing.

parish · #13 11th February 2007, 08:47 PM

What do you get when you try to locate cc or gcc?

locate gcc
locate cc
which gcc
which cc

Doesn't look like gcc is installed to me; where is /usr/bin/gcc? You're sure it's installed? On my system:

%rpm -qa | grep gcc
libgcc-4.1.1-51.fc6
compat-libgcc-296-2.96-138
gcc-4.1.1-51.fc6
gcc-c++-4.1.1-51.fc6
gcc-gfortran-4.1.1-51.fc6

Also, do you have imake installed:

%rpm -qa | grep imake
imake-1.0.2-3
