Could not run make command when installing PHP7

Bryan McClure · Jul 21, 2016

Hey guys,

I am following these tips on how to install PHP7 on a hosting server

Code:

cd /usr/local/
mkdir php7.0
cd php7.0
wget http://php.net/distributions/php-7.0.9.tar.gz
tar -xvf php-7.0.9.tar.gz
cd php-7.0.9

# don't forget to run ./configure --help to see all available options first
./configure  --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-libxml --enable-mbstring --enable-pdo=shared --enable-sockets --enable-zip --prefix=/usr/local/php70  --with-curl=/opt/curlssl/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-gd --with-gettext --with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/ --with-imap-ssl=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-kerberos --with-libdir=lib64 --with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/ --with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/ --with-mysqli --with-openssl=/usr --with-openssl-dir=/usr --with-pcre-regex=/opt/pcre --with-pdo-mysql=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-pic --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr

make
make test
make install

But at this point, I could not run make command, its showing

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

and

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

I tried to install make

Code:

yum install make

but tried make again but not succeeded.

Does any one know the reason?

is the ./configure spitting out any errors, does ./configure generate the makefile ?

you do not need to reinstall 'make', it works as expected and tells you: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
the command '[root@bryan php-7.0.9]./configure --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-libxml --enable-mbstring --enable-pdo=shared --enable-sockets --enable-zip --prefix=/usr/local/php70 --with-curl=/opt/curlssl/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-gd --with-gettext --with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/ --with-imap-ssl=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-kerberos --with-libdir=lib64 --with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/ --with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/ --with-mysqli --with-openssl=/usr --with-openssl-dir=/usr --with-pcre-regex=/opt/pcre --with-pdo-mysql=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-pic --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr' should create a makefile, make sure it does
