make : *** no rule to make target 'all', stop
 

hi all,
i am newbie in linux. i am facing the problem about makefile. i bought virtual host and ubuntu installed inside. when i try to install rabbitmq and stomp, i found the part of tutorial that needed to run this command("make RABBIT_SERVER_SOURCE_ROOT=/usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.7.0 all"), but i got this error "make : *** no rule to make target 'all', stop". i am googling the solution for similar problem, some of them said that i must login as root, install match kernel header, and create makefile in the current directory. everything i done but i still get those error. help me plese?? i am already install 'GNU Make' in my ubuntu.....

What is wrong with:

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server stompserver

The rabbitmq packages are in the Ubuntu repos for Ubuntu 9.10:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ic&section=all
First, make sure you have all the repositories enabled:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources
Then see this on installing software in Ubuntu:

If you are comfortable using apt-get from the terminal, then:
should do it. Otherwise, you can use Synaptic Package Manager to install rabbitmq-server.

And welcome to the LQ forums!

Thinking about it... and for future reference:

make RABBIT_SERVER_SOURCE_ROOT=/usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.7.0 all

when you extracted the tarball, it gave you a folder called: rabbitmq_server-1.7.0
you need to put that in /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/ for that command to work properly.

When you install from source code, you need to understand what you are doing. The command "make" looks for a file called "Makefile" or a synonym which contains instructions on how to compile the source code. If the makefile is not present, or does not have the right instructions, you get that error.

man make
