“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 also came across the same error. Here is the fix: If you are using Cmake-GUI:

1. Clean the cache of the loaded libraries in Cmake-GUI File menu.
2. Configure the libraries.
3. Generate the Unix file.

If you missed the 3rd step:

*** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

error will occur.
