Fluxbox "make" problem.

Ok so I have searched for hours and haven't found a solution yet...

I want to install Fluxbox on FC4 but it won't "make"...

Code:

[Borgschulze@localhost fluxbox-0.1.14]$ make

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

Now... there is Makefile.in and Makefile.am in the fluxbox-0.1.14 directory but it won't read them.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: make -d gives me a REALLY LONG loop of "Trying, Avoiding, Rejecting" it's wierd.

the command "make" is searching for a file named "Makefile" and nothing else. Make sure you are in the correct directory and that you really have to use "make".
Where have you found this fluxbox source (and how was it named in the first time?)
Weren't you suppose to call "./configure" before? Often, a configure script have to be used to "create" the Makefile. Refer to the fluxbox configuration if you aren't sure.

Yes, I did ./configure, will that give me error messages? I'm pretty tired right now, I just want to have sexy Fluxbox themes :)

EDIT: Yes, ./configure gave me an error.. :(

Quote:

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

Error there... the configure script failed, so it hasn't created the makefile.

Make sure you have gcc-c++ installed. Configure need this and it looks like it isn't installed on your box yet.

Thank you, I'm a big noob :)
Now I just have to find gcc-c++ heh.... hope I can manage.

Ok, ./configure went fine.

Now "make" actually got an error.

herm you are not lucky.
Can you give me a bit more info (more lines about this error)? Also, read carefully Fluxbox documentation and make sure you have EVERYTHING it need to compile properly. Configure should take a look at it, but obliviously it failed to do so... it happens sometime, dont worry, you will get used to bug finding :)

Can't find anything on what it needs to compile properly...
Here is the entire make command.
