Hey all,

I'm new to the whole task of MAKEing my packages. What's the best reference for a newbie? Specifically, I'm getting the following messages from make output....

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/sbadelt/tmp/vcdimager-0.6.2'
Making all in libvcd
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/sbadelt/tmp/vcdimager-0.6.2/libvcd'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Can someone please explain in plain English?

Thanks,
Steve

I have not read the whole thing so I am not sure if it'll help, but it sure can't hurt.
