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..

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.
