I have build-essential, but make command not working
I have build-essential package, but there is still a problem with make command. When I run it in a directory, it shows following message:

mudassar@javaDev-1:~/Desktop/gwget-0.99$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

When I explicitly specify a make file, the following message appears:

mudassar@javaDev-1:~/Desktop/gwget-0.99$ make Makefile.in
make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile.in'.

Same message appears for all other files.

And, if I run install with make, it shows:

mudassar@javaDev-1:~/Desktop/gwget-0.99$ sudo make install
Password:
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

Guide me how to use make in this scenario.

Is there some reason you need 0.99? Gwget 1.0.4-1 is in the repositories.
