Ubuntu

KDevelop : No targets specified and no makefile found

Asked by Kim Lyon

I have set up the project in KDevelop - it even has a directory with 3 .cmake files in it . However when I try to build the project it responds :

/home/kim/Projects/FrontEnd/FrontEnd_Linux_KDE/build/> make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
*** Failed ***

I assumed , wrongly , that when it created the project - with the default files - it would create a corresponding make file ( like Code::Blocks does ) .

Any ideas ?

Many Thanks

Kim Lyon

try cmake ;)

??? - cmake is installed and is being picked up . However the project , when it was constructed , seems to be missing a link to the makefile - despite there being 3 .cmake files in a project directory .

Are cmake and make , in KDevelop , 2 different make utility choices ? If so - there should be a switch to select the one to use - I can't find any switch . Do I need to install both ?

cmake seems to use make . make is installed .

However the problem is that KDevelop is not building and picking up the project make file .

I've dumped KDE and have switched to Qt4 .

Sorry - need to re-open this - my excursion with Qt4 wasn't helpful .

/home/kim/Projects/FrontEnd/FrontEnd_Module_KDE/build/> make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
*** Failed ***

I ultimately need to access the X11 - X Windows - GDI - som am concentrating on that .

Ended up setting up a project with QDevelop and linking in via that .

Had same problem, here should be the solution I think:

the problem occurred when compiling a KDE program (konsole) with missing dependencies.
First yo have to do a ./configure, then cmake.
And have the dependencies installed (in my case "apt-get build-dep konsole")

Afterwords working flawlessly.
