MAKE command
in Command Line
Hi.
I've really decided to learn how does MAKE command work. However I know what it does and I know how to use it, but I've never been successful in compiling a package with it.
I'm asking my question since I know MAKE is extremely useful in Linux.
I've downloaded Apache Web Server package and have tried to compile it, but MAKE wants a makefile file. Where can I find it? The best solution is to rename makefile.win to makefile and use it for make file, but MAKE command returns this error:
makefile:50: *** missing separator. Stop.
Any ideas? I really need to install apache by myself. and of course before installation comes compilation.
ThanX so much! ;-)

Read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/install.html for the compile and install instructions.
I found the stupid thing I had done: I had extracted the package in an NTFS drive (which I'm not sure if matters), and worse, I had put it in a folder called "LINUX DOWNLOADS", with that space in the middle.
I moved the package to /tmp/ and did all the things there again, and I successfully compiled and installed the apache server.
Thanks so much for your helps.
