[SOLVED] Building GTK+-2.8.20

[maustin2]

Following the instructions found in the Install file, I am having the following problem

./configure works as expected
make gtk+-2.8 returns the following
make: *** No rule to make target `gtk+-2.8'. Stop

What am I doing wrong???

Have you got build-essential package installed?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Yes, I did install build-essential twice

I have read the man page on make several times and tried several options, but no success.

Thanks for the reply.
Still trying.

Did you try just running:-

make
?

[maustin2]

PmDematagoda,

Yes, I have tried just Make,

~/gtk+-2.8.20$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

There is are Makefile.msc, .in, .am. These were created after successful run of ./configure. I am following instructions from the Install file, which state to execute ./configure, make and make install.

Thank goodness I strive on challenges.:lolflag:

Thanks for the suggestion.

Try running:-

autoconf
in the directory, rerun configure and then try make again.
