make install => Syntax error: word unexpected
« on: February 10, 2010, 11:17:21 pm »
Hello everybody.

A friend told me about SFML, and I decided to use it for my school work.
At school, we're working with FreeBSD running in a VM which is running on Debian.

Well, there is plenty of users and computers, so I of course don't have the su rights but I normally don't need'em to install things on my account.

When I try to "make install", I got this error :

(kornne@barbrady 1018)make install
Syntax error: word unexpected
*** Error code 2

Stop in /afs/epitech.net/users/epitech_2014/cudo_b/cu/SFML-1.5/CSFML.
(kornne@barbrady 1019)

My home folder path is /afs/epitech.net/users/epitech_2014/cudo_b/cu/

I guess I can change something in the makefiles, but there is plenty of them. I don't really know what should I change to get it to work.
I really hope that someone will help me, if I can use this library, it would be great. My work actually runs in the shell, using termcaps. I'd get some bonus points for making a graphical version.

Thanks !

Does compiling the sources work? (without giving "install" as the target)

have you tried gmake instead of make? IIRC FreeBSD shipps gnumake as gmake and SFML might use some GNU make only features

Hi.

Yep, I tried to just "make" it. It doesn't work. I have the same error.

I haven't tried gmake (it's the first time I hear about gmake), but it's the first thing I'm going to do at school tomorrow.

Thanks for you help.
