“No rule to make target 'install'”… But Makefile exists

Question

I am running into issues installing a C++ library. The CMake command is successful and generates the Makefile, but it gives a warning:

CMake Warning (dev) at         


        

Answer 1

I was receiving the same error message, and my issue was that I was not in the correct directory when running the command make install. When I changed to the directory that had my makefile it worked.

So possibly you aren't in the right directory.
