make error no makefile found in kos-ports

Post by UndeadDC »

Hey guys, I'm trying to build a tool chain using the directions from this thread on Neo Gaf and the Kallistios setup instructions on it's main page:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=916501
http://gamedev.allusion.net/softprj/kos/setup.php

Everything works great until I get to the end and run make in kos-ports. I get a line that says, "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.". I was wondering if anyone here has had this problem and if they know a way to fix it. Sorry for dropping in like this, but I don't have a NeoGaf account and even if I did that thread is old, so I don't think I would have any luck posting there. Thanks in advance.

Ah... I guess I need to update the website... :oops: That said, I have no control over the NeoGaf thread, obviously.

kos-ports has fairly recently changed quite a bit. It's discouraged to build all the ports unless you really want them all. If you do really want to build all of them, then from the kos-ports directory, simply run the following command, and it'll build them all:

Code: Select all

utils/build-all.sh
The best way to do things is to simply pick what ports you want and build each one individually. To do that, go into a port's directory and run "make install clean". I'd suggest looking briefly through the README included with kos-ports as it explains a few things about the new ports system that might be useful to know. :wink:

EDIT: Updated the page on the KOS website. 8-)

OK thanks a lot for that. I was thinking you needed all those for some reason. It just dawned on me they were probably optional.
