Errors running "make clean" and "make distclean"

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I’ve found a few references to this problem going back to Asterisk 1.8 but no mention in JIRA or anything. Wondering if this is a known issue or not.

I’m running Scientific Linux 6.8 and get the following output when I run make clean. Anything to be done? I know nothing about makefiles, so don’t have a clue where to even look in Makefile to see what’s causing problems.

Running GNU make 3.81 on x86_64, if it makes a difference.

Looks like you are not running as root. You should be compiling as root user. Also do you have developer tools installed including make?

yum install automake gcc gcc-c++

If you don’t have those things installed you probably don’t have a lot of other required packages installed.

Thanks for the reply but I am root, as you can see from the prompt. I do have a development environment running, I’m successfully compiling Asterisk. automake is for generating makefiles, not running them, and if I didn’t have make installed, the output from make clean would be a lot shorter!
