Description

Hi,

I tried the following to build the code:

  • git clone [...] --recurse
  • make

I get an error, with very little information:

Configuration: Debug Platform: AnyCPU
		Configuration: Debug Platform: AnyCPU
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'debug' failed
make: *** [debug] Error 1

What exactly does this mean? I checked the Makefile and ran line 4 (xbuild Build.proj /t:Build /p:Mono=true /p:BuildFlavour=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU" /verbosity:minimal /nologo) manually, but it just prints the same first two lines (configuration: Debug ...) and nothing apparently happens.
