    Default WARNING: TARGET is empty make: Nothing to be done for first

    Can anyone help with this error

    WARNING: TARGET is empty make: Nothing to be done for first'.

    I wish to build this qt package On Ubuntu 14.04

    When I run ./compile in the the downloaded folder, it gives this error, im no programmer and did not write this code.

    If anyone could look at this and give me there opinion I would be very grateful

    Why did you use ./compile?

    I have installed Qt 5.3 on Ubuntu 14 without any problems following the instructions
    (X11 Systems) linked by the INSTALL text file in the extraction folder.
    1. unpack
    2. configure the package if necessary
    3. run make
    4. run make install
    5. set the enviroment variables
    done

    regards

    It said to use this, I get the same error if I use make

    With run I get command not found

    These are the install instructions

    git clone https://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-l...ontrol-center/
    cd vaio-f11-linux.control-center
    ./compile
    ./run

    Your link seems to be a control center for your Linux.
    Did you download the Qt Source or onlineinstaller from http://qt-project.org/downloads?

    As an alternative check this http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/05/inst...-ubuntu-14-04/

    Sorry I think I was a bit unclear I installed the version of qt from Ubuntus repos, this if fine works great.

    The link is a program I wish to compile called Vaio-x11-control-center it is this program that gives the error during compilation, should work on any system using X11 as its display manager.

    I thought you tried to insalll the Qt enviroment.

    Is there a make file or a file with the extension .pro in your downloadfolder?
    Did you read the wiki belonging to yor program?
    There you can find an older comment that sometimes the installation of two
    Qt components (qt4-qmake and libqt4-dev) from your respository is necessary.
    Are these components installed on your system?

    try
    make clear
    before a new attempt to compile the package.
