make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

[PirikitoOreo]

Hello, my os is Linux Mint 18.3
I executed next commands for instaling STLINK on my PC:
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink stlink.git
cd stlink.git/
make release

After typing next command: make release
I've got next error:
[RELEASE]
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Makefile:27: recipe for target 'release' failed
make: *** [release] Error 2

I also have read instruction https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/doc/compiling.md, but i'm just started with Linux and I dont understand what i have to do.
Could help me with instalation step by step please?

Provide more details please. As the first post in this thread suggests.
You should remove the build folder probably due to non-installed depencies the Makefile is not generated under build/Release. I advice you to read https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/doc/compiling.md. If you provide the whole output before the error you should see CMake build output or something like: command not found: cmake.

Thank you for your reply, but iI think I'm completely lost.
I have file "Makefile" on my stlink.git foulder
Could you show me commands that i have to run please.

Start reading https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/doc/compiling.md.

I think you forgot to install cmake.

[PirikitoOreo]

No, I have installed cmake.

Just cleanup the broken build, and then try to build again with:

make clean
make release

And then paste the output of make release if it is still broken.

[PirikitoOreo]

After installing build-essential, commands make release and make debug worked well.
What should I do next?
Thanks

You should build a debian package with make package, and install the package with dpkg -i *.deb.

[PirikitoOreo]

Thank you for your reply. I executed your commands an I think everything is OK.
Bellow I post the output:

I was trying to upload test firmware to my stm32f103C8T6 using stlink-v2 and system workbench ide, but without success. I don't understand what is a problem. How can I check if my stlink-v2 is correctly installed?

I would like to help you, but re-read what your are writing. Trying to understand what your problem is, i'm missing details (logfile, what did you type etc).

[PirikitoOreo]

I would like to show you logfile, is it possible to find/generate it?

I had the same problem as the OP. What fixed it is running "make clean" before "make". Looks like some files got committed to git that shouldn't be there?
