make etc....

["Simon Whittaker" <simonwhitt at hotpop dot com>]

HI there,

Bit new to the whole fascinating world of cygwin but have managed to
download and install a couple of pre- installed packages. However I am
having trouble compiling them for myself. I run the ./configure command and
all seems to work okay but when i try "make" I get the following error
(example is proftpd - but is same with others...)
make: *** No rule to make target `proftpd', needed by `all'.  Stop.

Have run with -d to get debugging output and last few lines were like
this....


   No implicit rule found for `proftpd'.
   Finished prerequisites of target file `proftpd'.
  Must remake target `proftpd'.
make: *** No rule to make target `proftpd', needed by `all'.  Stop.

I have tried automake as well but this errors out.

Anyone have any ideas about my next step?

Cheers

Simon
