Hi, I am an absolute newbie at linux. I am trying to install something using a makefile that looks like this
======
include Options

all:
cd $(HERE)/UA ; make
cd $(HERE)/Misc ; make
cd $(HERE)/EE ; make

Linux /bin/rm -f Options
/bin/ln -s OptionsLinux Options
/bin/rm -f SystemChoice.h
/bin/ln -s SystemLinux.h SystemChoice.h
/bin/rm -f UA/cmisc.o
cd $(HERE)/UA ; make
cd $(HERE)/Misc ; make
cd $(HERE)/EE ; make

I get the following error msg
when I do Sudo make linux
sudo make linux
/bin/rm -f Options
/bin/ln -s OptionsLinux Options
/bin/rm -f SystemChoice.h
/bin/ln -s SystemLinux.h SystemChoice.h
/bin/rm -f UA/cmisc.o
cd /UA ; make
cd: 1: can't cd to /UA
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/makee_5.2.4-sep08'
cd /usr/local/src/makee_5.2.4-sep08/UA ; make
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/makee_5.2.4-sep08/UA'


what could I be doing differently.
TIA

Since it says it can't cd to UA, always make sure it exists, and echo $HERE to make sure the path is correct. Also, I recommend you just CD to $HERE, instead of using $() to avoid confusion with your make file.

Cheers,

Josh
