Cannot run the 'make' command

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I tried searching online and look through yuor issues but found 
unsuccessful. 
2.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am running Linux Debian OS under my Virtual Machine. 

Please provide any additional information below.

This is what comes up in my terminal

make -C //lib/modules/3.2.0-41-generic/build CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y 
M=/home/santoku/Downloads/Volitility /volatility-2.3.1/tools/linux modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-41-generic'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/volatility-2.3.1/tools/linux'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-41-generic'
make: *** [dwarf] Error 2

I believe that according to a site, it is missing a relocs.c file by the 
makefile.  

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

I also tried this over a week. But found to be unsucessful. I am not sure what 
will be the cause of this error, i even updated my correct linux header.

Can you please copy/paste the full command line input/output when running make?

Hmm that is quite confusing.

Can you cat your Makefile?

Original comment by atc...@gmail.com on 24 Jul 2014 at 5:50

This is what i get when i cat Makefile run. 

santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads/Volitility 
/volatility-2.3.1/tools/linux$ cat Makefile
obj-m += module.o
KDIR ?= /
KVER ?= $(shell uname -r)

-include version.mk

all: dwarf 

dwarf: module.c
    $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR)/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y M=$(PWD) modules
    dwarfdump -di module.ko > module.dwarf
    $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR)/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build M=$(PWD) clean

clean:
    $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR)/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build M=$(PWD) clean
    rm -f module.dwarf

But when i entered the make command alone. The following code appear. 

santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads/Volitility 
/volatility-2.3.1/tools/linux$ make 
make -C //lib/modules/3.2.0-41-generic/build CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

Can you:

ls /usr/src

And can you also run:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Assuming you are building a profile for the system that is running. If you 
aren't can you explain how you put together your headers directory?

This is what i get from running ls/usr/src

After running sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r

Ok, what made you originally say about 'relocs.c' in your first post? I don't 
see relocs.c in any output.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I get it from this a site. 

According to it, it say when i get this rule as shown below. i need the relic.c 
file

make[2]: * No rule to build the target « arch/x86/tools/relocs.c », needed 
for « arch/x86/tools/relocs ». Stop.

The makefile is looking for a code module called relocs.c.

So, i am not sure if it needs it to run the make command in linux

Hiya Nicholas,

Could you please try moving your Volatility directory to one that doesn't 
contain a space?  If that succeeds then we can investigate how to allow it to 
build when there is a space in the directory name.  If not then we'll have to 
keep searching for a solution...

I try but its not a directory. it automatically put the space for it.  I just 
cant physically run the make command under the tools/linux directory but when i 
go to the  Volatility main folder and run it. I get this 

santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads/Volitility /volatility-2.3.1$ make
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads/Volitility /volatility-2.3.1$ 

Thank you for helping me because I tried it for a week and no help, even asked 
people but no one knows.

My make command is already installed

Hi there,

I'm not sure you quite understood what I was trying to say.  From the output 
you provided, it looks like you've installed volatility into 
"~/Downloads/Volatility /volatility-2.3.1/".  The space at the end of the 
"Volatility " directory is probably what's causing your problems.  Please try 
the following commands from your Downloads directory:

santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads$ mv "Volatility " "Volatility"
santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads$ cd 
Volatility/volatility-2.3.1/tools/linux
santoku@santoku-virtual-machine:~/Downloads/Volitility/volatility-2.3.1/tools/li
nux$ make

Then let us know if that solves your compilation problems.

Ok, so that built fine.  The issue was having a space in the directory, and 
I've fixed this in the main repository with commit r3615.  Thanks for raising 
the issue, marking as Fixed.
