Makefile:2: /default.mk: No such file or directory Error

[hspopal]

Hello,

I am having an issue with the Makefile compilation step. I am getting the following error:

~/Downloads/MSM_HOCR-master/src/DiscreteOpt$ make
Makefile:2: /default.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/default.mk'.  Stop.

I am using a linux with Ubuntu 18.04 and fsl6. Not sure what else would be help to know in order to troubleshoot this. Thanks for your help.

Have you got your FSL environment variables set up correctly?

I believe so. I have the FSLDEVDIR set up with the FastPDlib copied from $FSLDIR/src `~/Downloads/MSM_HOCR-master/src/DiscreteOpt$ echo $FSLDEVDIR

/usr/local/msm `

`~/Downloads/MSM_HOCR-master/src/DiscreteOpt$ ls $FSLDEVDIR/extras/src

FastPDlib `

And then I have the ELC directory copied from the github repository ~/Downloads/MSM_HOCR-master/src/DiscreteOpt$ ls $FSLDEVDIR/extras/include ELC

The problem is that it cannot find the FSLDIR/config. Try typing echo $FSLCONFDIR. Assumedly it comes back with nothing?

It's not the FSLDEV you need it is the FSLDIR. Where is your FSL installed? I always install FSL from source but a binary install might be ok if it provides all the necessary header files and libraries. However, that is more of a question for the FSL list.

I believe that worked, but now I am getting a permissions issue. When I try to run the make command with sudo, the original issue comes back.

It doesn't look like it worked. Also you are trying to build in your /usr/local for which you shouldn't have write permissions.

You don't need to install anyway. There are binaries available from the release tab.
