Hello!
I’m trying to install ‘firewalk’ and I’m getting the following error
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
Does anyone know what to do?
have you found and used the firewalk maker’s web site, forum, faq,
helpers? (all of those addressers are probably available in the
downloadable source pack–if not, throw it away and find something
else to use, imHo)
i guess you will wait a long time before a firewalk guru happens into
this forum and sees your subject and knows it applies to something
s/he knows about…in other words, you have posted twice on your
install firewalk problem, and not put “firewalk” in either title…not
the best way to attract folks who can help you…
sorry, i can’t–except to say: find the maker(s) and ask’em why you
are getting the errors you are…or, better yet, give google a try, like:

There’s no forum for firewalk and I’ve read all the faq and stuff.

This issue is not specific to firewalk. If you checked my earlier thread you might have seen that I was not asking for help with firewalk, I instead wanted to know where’s dnet.h located or is it referred to by some other name in Opensuse. For eg libdnet is referred to as libdnet.so.1 in opensuse and libdumbnet.so in Debian and dnet.h us referred to as dumbnet.h in Opensuse. So I wanted to know what’s dnet.h called in Opensuse–turns out it’s dnet.h only 
With this thread what I’ve asked isn’t limited to firewalk only. I googled it prior to asking and it appears to be an issue with gcc. So I wanted to know whether anyone in this forum knew why this error occurs, I couldn’t find a solution in Google.
if not, throw it away and find something else to use, imHo
Unfortunately, I can’t do this.
Thanks

was there no email address for the authors, or no web address for them?
did you exhaust all resources available here:
http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/UNIX/audit/firewalk/
actually i can find the one true source…and, i’m not gonna download
the most current package to look inside to see if it is given there…

if, as you say, this error is not specific to just firewalk then you
should find it easy to learn how to fix the problem from one or more
of the 131,000 hits here: http://tinyurl.com/38dlbkm
but, if your solution is not there and if you stuck with using
software made by folks who do not wanna be found and won’t provide
support then, i guess the best thing to do is just wait for someone
who knows to drop in…
i hope someone does!!!

Sorry but you are not asking with a very not so good title. ‘all-am’ is a switch setting used by 10’s of thousands of programs for Linux during the gcc build process. You need to specify the packages with version that you are having trouble with, what your Linux system has for hardware, kernel, versioning, desktop(s), and the steps you have taken in detail for it to be of much use to our problem solvers/advisors/volunteers.
My short answer is that you are missing a dependency that when you try to compile your program to work with Linux (openSUSE) is tripping on this dependency and reporting the last known switch that triggered the error. So we need you to be more specific before we can do much more than guess.
Looks like the problem solved.
I’m not sure, but it might help someone coming here googling the above error…? It appears that this is not an error. It’s a normal operation during compilation. The “make” operation instead of giving an error terminates gracefully. If then you try ‘sudo make install’ you might get similar output (not to be confused with error). In my case I saw two more such lines-- A) make[2]: Nothing to be done for install-exec-am' B) make[2]: Nothing to be done for install-data-am’ after which the installer leaves the directories and ‘gracefully’ terminates.
Try running the application then. It must’ve installed and will run perfectly.
