So I've spent a couple hours trying to google the solution to my problem, but I can't seem to find the answer...
I'm learning to make Firefox extensions and am following the directions here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Overlay_Extensions/XUL_School/Setting_Up_a_Development_Environment?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=XUL%2FSchool_tutorial%2FSetting_Up_a_Development_Environment
Instead of using Cygwin, I downloaded MinGW and installed "mingw-developer-toolkit", "mingw32-base", and "msys-base". I unzip the HelloWorld2 file. I run msys.bat, navigate to src in HelloWorld2, and type make. This is my error. What's happening? How do I fix this?
Creating XPI file.
make: zip: Command not found
make: *** [../bin/xulschoolhello2.xpi] Error 127
I also tried doing the same thing through cmd.exe. I followed directions from How to use GNU Make on Windows? and
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
When I enter "make" from cmd, I get the following...
"Creating XPI file."
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, zip ../bin/xulschoolhello2.xpi install.rdf ch
rome.manifest content/browserOverlay.js content/browserOverlay.xul skin/browserO
verlay.css locale/en-US/browserOverlay.dtd locale/en-US/browserOverlay.propertie
s, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
Makefile:76: recipe for target '../bin/xulschoolhello2.xpi' failed
make: *** [../bin/xulschoolhello2.xpi] Error 2
Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong, and how I should fix it? I've spent many hours researching on google but could not find the answer. I really want to learn how to make firefox extensions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you bobbogo. After you found the problem for me and how to fix it, it took only a couple minutes to fix. I simply followed the directions below.

This is one possible solution. First checked you have zip program in your path variable. Then edit makefile for your zip program and change bin directory Exp.
# The zip application to be used.
ZIP := rar a
# The target location of the build and build files.
bin_dir := ..\bin

I need to install make command on windows, and I am told to follow the guide here: https://gist.github.com/evanwill/0207876c3243bbb6863e65ec5dc3f058#make, which is quoted as follows:
Go to ezwinports.
Download make-4.1-2-without-guile-w32-bin.zip (get the version without guile).
Extract zip.
Copy the contents to your Git\mingw64\ merging the folders, but do NOT overwrite/replace any existing files.
(Keep in mind you can easy add make, but it doesn't come packaged with all the standard UNIX build toolchain--so you will have to ensure those are installed and on your PATH, or you will encounter endless error messages.)
But after finishing those steps (extract zip and merging the folders), I run the make command and get a bash: make: command not found error.
I have added 'C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin' to my PATH environment variable and have confirmed that file 'make.exe' exists in 'C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin'.
I find one or two similar problems asked under the comments of the guide website, but they just haven't get answers;
and I also find some answers on stackOverFlow that says using choco install make instead, but I'm not sure if these two packages are the same.
Can you give me some suggestions to fix this?
I am trying to build Linux for my Raspberry Pi 3.
When I do make, I get the below error.
make[2]: /home/rohit/workplace/rp/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabihf-gcc: Command not found
A little background will help. I am following this link . To summarize this is what I ran.
make raspberrypi3_defconfig
make linux-menuconfig
make
From the error I get that the cross gcc is not available at the path as it should be. But I am not sure what I am missing.
The complete log of the make is pasted here. The output/host/usr/bin folder also doesn't contain arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabihf-gcc, though it does contain arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc. I have pasted the contents of the folder here.
Please help.
i was having this problem and after a make clean the problem was solved. I think the error was because different toolchains used in different builds. The manual says that is one of the cases that you have to do a make clean
I want to install ratfor77 on Cygwin (form the Stanford Exploration Project).
I downloaded it, untar it, attribute the good permissions to the folder ratfor77 (chmod -R u+w ratfor77).
But when I want to use the command make all I receive this error:
make: *** No rule to make target '/ratfor77', needed by 'all'. Arrêt.
I verified that all the files needed were in the folder.
Any idea?
The makefile does not follow the usual conventions. Run make ratfor77. Several compiler warnings are emitted but the executable ./ratfor77 is generated.
The problem I describe was resoluted by moving the raffor folfer to the root directory of Cygwin.
I had the message above:
Done making all in util/tools/ratfor77
I'm following a documentation but it do not work :p
But I didn't have the file ratfor.exe.
So I tried your code:
make rartfor77
And no it's ok.
Thank you very much Mike.
On Windows 7, 64-bit, I am trying to compile crlibm. My environment is a 32-bit MinGW that came with the Python-XY distribution, and the shell I'm using is bash as it comes with Git for Windows.
I have sucessfully ran ./configure without any arguments. But when I try to run make, I get the following error message:
$ env PATH=/c/MinGW32-xy/bin make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `c:/Users/michael/crlibm-1.0beta4'
'failcom' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `c:/Users/michael/crlibm-1.0beta4'
make: *** [all] Error 2
As someone noticed in a different context, failcom seems to be a variable in the makefile, but for some reason it is interpreted as a command. When this command is invoked, it is of course not found, and the build process fails.
Unfortunately, the discussion linked above has not led to a solution that I could have used. So my question is if anyone here recognizes this problem and knows how to solve or work around it.
Best regards,
Michael
I have finally found the answer to my question on this wiki page. I cite:
A common misunderstanding is MSYS is "UNIX on Windows", MSYS by itself does not contain a compiler or a C library, therefore does not give the ability to magically port UNIX programs over to Windows nor does it provide any UNIX specific functionality like case-sensitive filenames. Users looking for such functionality should look to Cygwin or Microsoft's Interix instead.
To summarize: MSYS/MinGW is not suposed to support a configure/make workflow of the type a UNIX user is accustomed to. Installing Cygwin as suggested in the above wiki page did indeed solve my problem.
I am writing a small program using openGl and SDL. I need to use SVL for various reasons but I cannot get it to link up properly in Xcode. Has anyone done this before and could talk me through it? I followed the readme from SVL and get the following when I run make install:
ip-156-133:svl-1.5 2 Tom$ sudo make install
installing into /usr/local/include/svl /usr/local/doc
done.
installing into /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include
chmod: lib/*: No such file or directory
make: [install-libs] Error 1 (ignored)
cp: lib/*: No such file or directory
make: [install-libs] Error 1 (ignored)
done.
Could be this be part of the problem?
Also I'm not sure where to add the -lsvl flag and -lsvl.dbg etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SVL seems rather unmaintained, given that the latest version is nearly eight years old.
I'd recommend Eigen, which is under active development and has the added benefit of being a header-only library.
