Troubleshooting

No targets specified

If you try to "make" and get a message like:

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

Then you're likely trying to do a make in the wrong directory.

Solution:

  1. Change your current directory to the parent of the item you're trying to make,
  2. Verify that there is a "Makefile" in that directory,
  3. Try again

No rule to make xref

If you try to "make" and get a message like:

make: *** No rule to make target `../xref', needed by `Overview.html'.  Stop.

Then you're likely missing the "xref" repository.

Solution:

  1. Clone the "xref" repository into a directory that is a sibling of the directory you're working in.
  2. Try again

No such option xref

If you try to "make" and get a message like:

anolis: error: no such option: --xref

Then your Anolis is likely out of date.

Solution:

  1. Update your Anolis respository
  2. Update your install of the "anolis" tool, e.g. in "/usr/local/bin/anolis"
  3. Try again

No module named lxml

If you try to "make" and get a message like:

ImportError: No module named lxml

Then you're missing the lxml library.
