problem compiling amarok? ("No rule to make target 'all'")

[Chex]

I'm running SUSE 10.0 and trying to compile amaroK 1.4.3, because I need non-messed up iPod support. I got all the deps taken care of (phew!), finished ./configure, and thought I'd finally be in the clear to make, but when I do it displays this:

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chexmix/apps/amarok-1.4.3'
Making all in amarok
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/chexmix/apps/amarok-1.4.3/amarok'
Making all in src
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/chexmix/apps/amarok-1.4.3/amarok/src'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chexmix/apps/amarok-1.4.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

... And I'm enough of a n00b I don't know what to do about that.
Help? Probably it's something really obvious that I just don't get, so explanations as well as solutions -- if you have time! -- are very appreciated.

Hrm...

Where did you get 'all-recursive' from? Usually the command is simply "make". I imagine that it may have a different rule set. Have you tried plain "make"?

As for an explanation:

make is a utility that essentially directs the compilation for you. It is governed by a Makefile, which contains a number of rules in it. For instance, a Makefile might look like this:

all: compile

compile:
    gcc -Wall -o end_product *.c

install: compile
    mv end_product /final/destination

clean:
   rm *.o end_product

So you might say "make install", and make will run the commands associated with the "install" target.

The error you're getting is saying "You told me to follow target 'all', but there is no target 'all'".

The weird part is, I type in "make" and it returns the "make all-recursive" and the rest of what I posted. Everything I quoted is what happens after typing make and hitting return. Sorry for being unclear.

So I've tried doing "make clean" (which I saw in another thread) and then just running ./configure and make again ... same deal with make. I enter 'make,' and the next line is 'make all-recursive,' etc.

Oh ... huh, and I just tried deleting the folder and decompressing the tarball again, and this time "make" runs properly. HOWEVER!

It gets toward the end, and then returns this:

??? So now it seems to be a problem related to iPod support ...

That is an error in the code, so I recommend checking the amaroK forums for some info on that one.
