I do not know the revision level of make, but it was supplied with the 1.5.10 binaries from The Minix Centre. Make works fine with other things, I've used it to make bootblok,fs, init, and mm - didn't get a makefile for kernel. No dummy targets are specified for any of the above makes. The message using makefile.min is ... no targets specified around line 40...... Earl suggested inserting a line below "#Component makes"....... dummy: shoelace I have tried this, also "dummy: all" "dummy: winiboot bootlace shoelace laceup", I still get the same error message. As I am still a novice at such things, could someone also explain the significance of the "image" in README section of shoelace and how it is meant to be used. Any suggestions gratefully received.
