while trying to install this program i got the following error message when entering the "make" command
" No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix this

Did you run ./configure first, before make ?
And did it run successfully, without any errors ?

yes i did here are the commands used
cd ~
tar xvf k9copy-1.0.4-2.tar.gz
cd k9copy-1.0.4-2
./configure
make(this is where the error)

What configure said?

It seems like configure didn't finish successfully so no makefiles were created. Can you post the last 10 - 20 lines from the configure process.

here are those lines
checking crt_externs.h usability... no
checking crt_externs.h presence... no
checking for crt_externs.h... no
checking for _NSGetEnviron... no
checking for vsnprintf... yes
checking for snprintf... yes

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

well i hope this helps you help me

You'll have a chance when you have Qt installed.

- didn't you think this is a complaint?

yes i figured that when i posted it. but i am installing it now and i probably will be for the next week(yes that much command lines generated by Qt)

Why would it take a week to install qt? most distros have binaries for qt, so just install the ones for your distro.
