compiling --> make: no target specified, no makefile

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure why bash is giving me an error when I run 'make' over here.

I run Debian latest stable 64 bit.
Gitcloned: bfgminer
Installed dependencies
ran ./autogen.sh
ran ./configure
did 'make'

To confuse me even more the directory contains two makefiles. Makefile.am & Makefile.in

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

after "./configure" do " make install " and then " make "

Gives me this:

Quote:

make install

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

I believe that should have been in reverse:

after "./configure" the normal steps are to run "make" and then "sudo make install".

However you should view their README or INSTALL file for recommendations on what build and install actions you should be following.

Please post the error you receive from your make. You're saying that you get an error after running make, people need to see that error before they can offer some recommendations as to what is wrong. That is likely the fastest way to resolve your problem.

i am guessing that your "configure" line did not have any options and failed to compleat

there MUST 100% MUST be a file created by "configure" called " Makefile"

if there is no Makefile make can NOT run

also

some Makefile's REQUIRE !!!! an option!!!

like

Code:

make olinux 

or

make dlinux

or

make mlinux 

--- or if mingw build -- same code--

make win32 

or

make mingw 





or even a normal options

make test 

make all

make clean

rtmistler,
thank you for correcting me, it should be "make" after "./configure".

rockhopper,
could you please post the error you received after running make. Also I hope you followed the below procedure to install bfgminer.

1: Open Terminal or SSH into your Linux machine.

2: Run "apt-get update"

3: Run "apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev"

4: Run "git clone git://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git"

5: Enter the bfgminer directory

6: Run "./autogen.sh"

7: Run "./configure" (if you do not want to use GPUs on the machine, add --disable-opencl)

8: Run "make"

9: After make completes, you can run bfgminer directly (may require sudo), or create a shell script that includes your arguments.

Running BFGMiner:
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username_workername -p 123 -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
