Do you get a bunch of files ending in *.cpp, *.hpp, etc? I suspect you’re in the wrong folder. You probably need to move up and over to where the contents of Mothur.cen_64.zip are being placed.
I am having a similar problem.
I downloaded the mothur version 1.35.1 and into a directory named ‘mothur-1351’.
I unzipped and typed ‘make’ but the error, “make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.” resulted.
I cded into the source folder where a makefile is found and tried to run ‘make’ again. But it wouldn’t work. The resuting error is as follows:
I’d be glad if you can point me in the right direction as to how to get the software installed. My OS is CentOS 6.5.0.
I currently have mothur version 1.33.3 installed in the same folder and is conveniently called ‘mothur’, explaining why i’ve chosen to call this ‘mothur1351’. I don’t expect that that would affect anything, would it.
Thanks a lot, Ian.
That was quite helpful.
‘make’ ran successfully. And Mothur-1.35.1 runs okay.
But if currently only runs from within the ‘source’ folder which for me is tucked many folders deep .
I’d love to be able to reach the file from anywhere else. Any advices??
I imagine I may need to edit my .bashrc file. Just not sure of the specific edits.
Thanks a lot
