I'm new to Ubuntu. When I run the make command, I get this error:
make: *** No targets specified and no make ile found. Stop.
I saw others recommended using
sudo apt-get install build-essential
I did this and still get the same message. Is there something else I'm missing?

Can you please explain what you are trying to do? Are you trying to compile software from source code? If yes, then what software? Usually with GNU software you'll have to do./configureand thenmakein the directory that contains the sources. See if there's a README with the software that explains how to compile it.

This is because there is no Makefile present in the directory where you are running make command

If it helps at all, this was to download redshift. In the source package there were two files called "Makefile" one was a ".in"' and I don't remember what the other was. In the README file, it simply said to do the "./bootstrap" and then "./configure". I manged to do that and then is said to just run "make". Should those Makefiles be in some other format?
