Can anyone help with this error

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

I wish to build this qt package (https://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/) 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-linux.control-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/install-qt-5-3-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.
