[m-users.] No rule to make target

[fabrice nicol]

Hello Carlos,

what package are you trying to build ? 20.06.1? An ROTD? The git 
repository?

I remember bumping into such issues a whole ago. It looks like you are 
trying to build a recent version with perhaps an outdated Mercury 
install. Your platform Mercury is detected by configure whilst not 
offering the requested capabilities for the Makefile install rules to 
run fine.

If so, I would suggest that you should uninstall your prior Mercury 
system, and first cleanly rebuild using ./configure 
--enable-minimal-install, then make and (sudo) make install. Then 
rebuild with the wanted grades (I would try --disable-most-grades in the 
event of an issue at this stage), and hopefully installation should run 
smoothly.

You may have issues (not always, but at times) building the git 
repository directly. In this case, try building a reasonably fresh ROTD 
as indicated above (you may have to go back in time, a few months ago I 
could not build the most recent ROTDs directly), then use the resulting 
build(s) to build the latest ROTD or the git repository, if this is want 
you want.
