There is no "make" in the working directory. I did check that, and even if I didn't running gcc and suncc from their full bin paths would have accounted for it. :( Also the files look fine under VIM; at least to me it looks fine. I downloaded the tar.gz file from the server using Ubuntu and copied using a flash drive but untared/ziped on the sun box so their should be no windows contaminates on my end. I had actually gone down that road of though already, but thank you for the suggestions. Some times the most obvious issue is the one that takes you days to find. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Bob Elzer Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 3:50 PM To: 'Main PLUG discussion list' Subject: RE: Problem compiling Broadcom 440x drivers for open Solaris Make sure (lol) that you don't have a file in the current directory named "make" Also sometime the files may have cr/lf in them which cause problems, this happens if the file came from a dos/win environment. check your makefile -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Bryan O'Neal Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 2:49 PM To: 'Main PLUG discussion list' Subject: Problem compiling Broadcom 440x drivers for open Solaris I installed Open Solaris on my Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook, however the Broadcom 440x integrated nic card is not supported. I found the following link http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/components/details/363.html which leads me to a driver pack, which provides a set of instructions that basically boiled down to #make #make install however make does not compile anything. make reports Fatal error: No arguments to build. make Makefile reports Makefile is uptodate. And of course, since I can not make I am not surprised when make install reports Don't know how to make target 'install' I have gotten so used to #./config #make #make install over the last decade that I have lost the trouble shooting talent for this sort of thing. I have tried with gcc and suncc but I get the same issue both times. There is no actual configure script since the make files come predone for a dozen different platforms/os/compiler combos that are supported; you just simlink to the rite one and go. Suggestions?
