Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling
make: no targets specified and no makefile found
vince:
My first time compiling in a long time. I gave up on it a while back when I had some problems with Cygwin (and VMWare for that matter). Went back and removed Cygwin per these instructions, then reinstalled using installation guide with screenshots. I had to add the cross compiler manually, using nano and these directions (step 4).
All of the patches were added without problems, 'build' directory was created, and configure run. The makefile appears to have been created successfully. However, when I type make, it just says:
--- Code: ---make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
--- End code ---
Here is a screenshot. Am I missing anything? I went back and reinstalled make from the dev menu, which didn't change anything.
Llorean:
Have you tried compiling an unpatched build? Specifically, without the patches installed at all?
vince:
I just tried that. It gives me the same error. Again, the makefile appears to have been created and the lines above the error (after I select normal build) are identical.
GodEater:
I think this *might* be something to do with the fact that your home directory (i.e. your username) has spaces in it - I've seen problems with the build system where this is the case before...
Try moving the directory with the rockbox source code somewhere where there are no spaces in the path (e.g. /tmp), delete your build directory, re-create it, re-run configure, and then see what happens.
Mikerman:
If I recall correctly, the Cygwin installation instructions here recommend a no-space location.
