Subject: Building 1.5pre3 for FreeBSD

Hello.
I am using FreeBSD 3.3 and have Netatalk 4.2 working.
Mostly it seems fine. However, there is a problem with certain
directories when brought up on a Mac. At first there are many items,
then the items "flicker" and mostly disappear, leaving only a few
folders and a file called "[".
I mentioned this on a FreeBSD list and someone said he'd seen a
similar problem and suggested I install the latest version of
Netatalk. I downloaded 1.5pre3 and tried to follow the build
instructions from the README, which go like this:
1. Set DESTDIR in the root Makefile. DESTDIR is the directory below
which all binaries will be installed. Setting it causes all
installation-relative pathnames to be set correctly...
2. When you've completed the configuration, type "make" at the root of
the source. This will make all binaries.
...
I looked for Makefile and found instead Makefile.am and Makefile.in.
Makefile.am contained a line
DESTDIR =
which I changed to
DESTDIR = /usr/local/
(Was this correct? Or should I have omitted the trailing slash?).
Then I typed "make" and got back
make: no target to make.
Question: What did I do wrong and what should I do now?
Thank you.
Regards,
Ralph Dratman
