I need some help from someone who knows a bit about Linux / gcc / MAKE. I'm trying to compile CVSNT 2.0.8 under RedHat 8 and am getting this: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I../lib -I../diff -I../cvsgui -g -O2 -c `test -f 'zlib.c' || echo './'`zlib.c make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../cvsgui/libcvsgui.a', needed by `cvs'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/gstarret/downloads/cvsnt-2.0.8/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gstarret/downloads/cvsnt-2.0.8/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gstarret/downloads/cvsnt-2.0.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 I took a wild guess (after downloading gCVS and making it and still not finding the needed file) and went into the cvsnt-2.0.8/cvsgui and did a make there directly--that produced the library file cvsgui.a for me, then I backed out to cvsnt-2.0.8/ and ran make again and it worked without error. Is this correct? If so, sounds like you need to reorder or make a rule to do that missing step. If that isn't it, please let me know what I need to do. Yes, I'm a total noob to Linux and GCC and MAKE, I'm just trying to muddle through. :) Thanks!
