Do you run the configuration tool? Most source packages on Linux have a script in the root installation directory called 'configure'. You usually need to run that first: ./configure
Next, it seems that you are missing the program/script called depmod. That should be part of the linux compiler tools, so you might want to make sure you have all the compiler tools installed. Sorry, but I'm on vacation right now and this is a Windoze system so I cannot tell you off-hand what the package name happens to be, though it should be something like "gnu-tools" or "development-tools" or such like.

Actually, depmod should be part of the standard system, now that I think about it. It should be in /sbin which is not part of a normal user's path. To fix that, add /sbin to your PATH environment variable with the command: export PATH=${PATH}:/sbin
You might want to add this command to your ~/.bash_profile script so it sets your PATH correctly every time you log in.

Following are the values the make returns.

0 - if all makefiles were successfully parsed and no targets that were built failed
1 - if the -q flag was used and make determines that a target needs to be rebuilt
2 - if any errors were encountered.

and any errors numbers of form,

‘[foo] Error NN’
‘[foo] signal description’

These errors are not really make errors at all. They mean that a program that make invoked as part of a recipe returned a non-0 error code (‘Error NN’), which make interprets as failure, or it exited in some other abnormal fashion (with a signal of some type).

If no *** is attached to the message, then the subprocess failed but the rule in the makefile was prefixed with the - special character, so make ignored the error.

So, here the case of make returning the value of 127, is returned by the shell not by make. Please refer man page of bash.
