Description

If you run the ./tools/configure.sh script without a ../apps folder or without setting APPDIR you get errors like below without any helpful reason what is going on. It took several minutes to figure it out.

```
nuttx$ ./tools/configure.sh olimex-stm32-e407:nsh
Copy files
Select CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y
Refreshing...
make: the '-C' option requires a non-empty string argument
Usage: make [options] [target] ...
Options:
...
```

Thoughts on having the Makefile check for this folder to provide reasonable warning/error messages?
