My goal is to change my mouse DPI. So any less frustrating solution is also welcome.
I've already searched and read through the other topics about razercfg
& many others trying to figure out how to not get these errors but I'm new to Linux and even the answers I'm reading a just confusing me more.
I'm trying to install razercfg
that can be found here: http://bues.ch/cms/hacking/razercfg.html
I've downloaded the tar.bz2 archive and extracted it into my home folder.
I've opened the readme and now I've been stuck at the start of the installation instructions for a few hours. I'm following the instructions of the README file located inside the archive.
I've already managed to get 'cmake .' to work (I think) by changing into the directory through the terminal and running this command.
Output of cmake:
wico@wico-System-Product-Name ~/razerconfig $ cmake .

wico@wico-System-Product-Name ~/razerconfig $
Now I'm running into trouble trying to run 'make' in the terminal.
The error I'm getting is:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I've tried make install:
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
I've come across some tip saying I should use autoconf:
autoconf: error: no input file
Somewhere else mentioned I should try ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
I've also tried checkinstall among other things.
And I've read about dependencies being a possible solution.
I now managed to get a few steps further with the reply that i'll mark as the answer.
I was made aware of constantly expanding my question with more questions, so I've asked another question about the final part of the installation here:
getting razercfg to work using systemd – systemctl: command not found
