make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I have installed Abinit-6.12.3 successfully and then made a file named work in desktop for my inputs but when I wanted to get outputs with this command I got that error below:

linux@linux-U80V:~/Desktop$ ~/Desktop/abinit-6.12.3/tests/tutorial/Refs/t11.out | more
bash: /home/linux/Desktop/abinit-6.12.3/tests/tutorial/Refs/t11.out: Permission denied
linux@linux-U80V:~/Desktop$ sudo make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

what shall I do then?

I've no experience with abinit, but you should be able to find the solution here:

Sorry can you please simply tell me what to do to remove errors like this:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Welcome to LQ.

? Why are you using an "abinit-6.12.3" package, when you can do :
sudo apt-get install abinit

About the source code package abinit-6.12.3.tar.gz
http://ftp.abinit.org/abinit-6.12.3.tar.gz :
... Please read the file INSTALL, which says..
cd abinit-6.12.3/ && ./configure && make (./make is a typo in "INSTALL")
.. To be done in the top directory.
And : No 'sudo make', please ! Unless you want troubles.
And : Please read './configure --help' for all options.

Prerequisites : sudo apt-get install \
g++ gfortran libatlas-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev libopenmpi-dev

abinit-6.12.3/tests/tutorial/Refs/ :
There is not supposed to be a Makefile in that location. Ever.
And : The 'make' command is for Makefile's only, not for a file like "t11.out"
