[SOLVED] make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.

Hi everyone.
I've been looking for a solution on this for ages now and I can't find anything, and I'm desparate for help...

Let me explain.
I imported a project from gitorious to work on for my uni. It's an openGL project and I am to make a game.
So the project was imported and converted to C/C++ properly. When I try to build it though, I get the following error message on my console window.

Code:

19:25:33 **** Incremental Build of configuration Build (GNU) for project ci224-lecture4 ****
make all 
make: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

19:25:33 Build Finished (took 74ms)

Also here's a picture of the problems tab.

* I understand that this question might be more related to eclipse but I've been trying to get help from anywhere really. So please if you know anything, ANYthing related is appreciated.

Thanks
G.

Hi, (no configured Makefile) just a guess, try..

Code:

./configure

then

Code:

make all

Another possibility is that your environment is not set up to compile. (?)

Could be a file permission conflict.

If you look at the screenshot, it's trying to run './configure', but it fails because it can't find SDL - do you have that installed? (it'll be called something like sdl-devel, depending on which distro you're using)

Hi Snark.
Yes I believe it's installed. I am using GNOME.
Could you give me a command to check specificaly, or a command to download it ?

I missed the .configure bit in the pic.. sorry my bad.

Ok. I sorted it out!
The problem was that I was actually missing the sdl files."sudo yum install sdl*" did the job. I'm so happy that I can finally work!
I KNEW that it was right infront of me, and that it was a tiny thing that was causing the errors (reason for not finding anything online).
I was just looking for this someone to point it out and open my eyes!

Thanks so much, please let me know how to give you rep.

GNOME isn't your distro - it's your window manager. From the fact you're using "yum", I'd guess that you're using Fedora or CentOS.

Glad you got it sorted!

Normally the best way is to click "Yes" next to the post you found helpful

Regards,

Yep fedora it is. Ok i thought that Yes button had nothing to do with rep.
