"make: *** No rule to make target `all'."

That means your trying terminal command:
make all

Try using the terminal command:
make

If that doesn't work try this instead:
./autogen.sh && ./configure

And if that doesn't work try this:
./configure


And if all that doesn't work, make sure you "cd" into the directory that Crystal space is in then try them again.
(e.g. Terminal command "cd /Users/YOURSHORTNAME/desktop/CS_CVS/")



If you can't get it I'll be trying to compile it right now...

[mr98321]

i can run the ./confugure but i still get the same error and i "cd" into the directory. WTF this is getting anoying

[BinarySpike]

I tryed compiling. same error for me too.

I think the configure isn't making the makefile's I don't see any after I ./configure.

I'll look around and ask around. (IRC is niiiiice... until OSC wants to kick you :???:)

config.status: WARNING: failed to create makefile emulation layer


Last line... Think it's giving me the trouble.

[BinarySpike]

Last time I tried following the instructions for OSX, make failed to find any targets. I'm not experienced enough to fix that, and they never bothered answering when I told them, so I gave up.

Same problem... I'll look around some more...

Rotate nicks a few times. Then he may get confused and kick Will instead of you.

Wow! Nice link...

Seems I was trying wrong...
I don't see a crystal space in /usr/local but.......


I'll keep work'n on it... (thankgoodness for the CS IRC channal...)

[BinarySpike]

Ok, worked on some stuff...


Found that the acual executible files are giving errors out that stop them from beind made.

(giving us this trouble)

I'm not sure... But I think it's gcc that's mess'n it up... I can't be sure though...

Just use 'Jam' instead of 'Make -k'

I had the same problem, but buidling with Jam seems to go ok.

Maybe this answer is a little bit late, but recently I tried to install it and got the same error, the problem is creating the make file required to use the make command, to solve it just execute the configure like this:

./configure --disable-make-emulation
and then use jam instead of make,
./jam

and that's it.
