Error while installing geany

Question

I have recently downloaded geany 0.19.1.

Autotools based build system

The Autotools based build system is very mature and has been well tested. To use it, you just need the Make tool, preferably GNU Make.

Then run the following commands:

$ ./configure
$ make

Then as root:

% make install

I tried running ./configure in my terminal and it ran successfully.

But when I try running make it gives me the this error.

searock@searock-desktop:~/Downloads/geany-0.19.1$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Can someone point me in a right direction ?

Thanks.

Something to do with apt. Like the page I linked to says, use ppa:geany-dev/ppa. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 6 '10 at 10:27
