GVM-Libs Error on Ubuntu 22.04 - Building from Source

I follow the latest documentation from this link (Building from Source - Greenbone Community Documentation)

I’m still in GVM-Libs, The build is done, but when I’m going to perform install on this command
make DESTDIR=$INSTALL_DIR/gvm-libs install
It says " No rule to make target ‘install’. Stop."

Upon checking on the $INSTALL_DIR/gvm-libs directory, its completely empty.

The “Install” file is not there

I follow step-by-step procedure, am I missing something?

Hello @madpiano

There does not need to be any “install” file in $DESTDIR as it is the installation destination.
I guess you missed to do one or more of the commands.
When the previous make and cmake commands worked you have to be in the correct directory so that the make install should not make any problems.

I would suggest to start again from the beginning (as you are at gvm-libs, this should not be “too much” …) or if you frequently run into problems, use our community container instead of source build.

Yeah I missed a previous command. This is now good. You can close this now
