[bug #27437] Problems with make in a directory with present Makefiles. make does not function.

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27437 (project make):

address@hidden:/usr/src/snort-2.8.4$ ls
aclocal.m4    configure.in  LICENSE      missing        snort-2.8.4
ChangeLog     contrib       ltmain.sh    mkinstalldirs  snort.8
config.guess  COPYING       m4           preproc_rules  src
config.h.in   doc           makefile.am  RELEASE.NOTES  templates
config.log    etc           Makefile.am  rpm            verstuff.pl
config.sub    install-sh    makefile.in  rules          ylwrap
configure     libtool       Makefile.in  schemas

Directly into:

address@hidden:/usr/src/snort-2.8.4$ sudo make
[sudo] password for aetixintro: 
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Continuing with:

address@hidden:/usr/src/snort-2.8.4$ sudo make -f makefile.am
perl /verstuff.pl 
Can't open perl script "/verstuff.pl": No such file or directory
make: *** [dist-hook] Error 2

address@hidden:/usr/src/snort-2.8.4$ sudo make -f Makefile.am
-f Makefile.in
Makefile.in:15: *** missing separator.  Stop.

At this point I don't know what to do! Renew files? Purge make?

I'm not trying to make you look stupid or anything! I hope this new
information makes it more clear. If there is something more to add, please
just ask.
