Make errors

Can anyone help resolve this? I downloaded PonyProg2000 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ponyprog/

There is no ./config file - instead you have to edit build-dir/v/Config.mk

Then on make I get the error "recipe commences before first target"

me:~/Packages/PonyProg2000-2.08b$ make
cd v; make vlib
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/me/Packages/PonyProg2000-2.08b/v'
cd srcx ; make
Makefile:145: *** make[2]: Entering directory `/home/me/Packages/PonyProg2000-2.08b/v/srcx'
recipe commences before first target.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/me/Packages/PonyProg2000-2.08b/v/srcx'
make[1]: *** [srcx] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/me/Packages/PonyProg2000-2.08b/v'
make: *** [vlib] Error 2

I'd like to get this to build - can anyone help? Or should I just grab another programmer from the Arch repos?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Make errors

PonyProg is in the AUR already.  It seems it is flagged outdated but it is the previous subversion.

You could either use that, or if you need a feature that's been added to the newest release, you can use that PKGBUILD as a template.  Perhaps all that would be required is changing the source and checksum.
