Problem compiling Broadcom 440x drivers for open Solaris

[Bryan O'Neal]

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.

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

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
<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 <arguments> 
	#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?
