Hi all,
Muhammad Salman here,i am facing a problem related to linux and to some extent to a programming language called SystemC,i am new to both of these and didnt know exactly where the problem lies but its related to make concept in linux
Q1 ,i have a question what is difference b/w make,makedefs,make.in,make.an ?
Q2 ,also in systemc i have simulated a few examples and they run fine and in its user guide it has been adviced to take a makefile from example folder and paste it into ur programs folder and it wud work...but it doesnt seems to be working...i have changed the few paramters of it which says like the folder path etc...but it shows me this error

bash-3.00$ gmake
gmake: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.am', needed by `../../../../first_program/Makefile.in'. Stop.

help wud be realy appreciated....
Thanks
-Muhammad Salman
(P.S : if anyone wants to have a look at makefile i can mail him,i cant see here attachment option)
