Using a MakeFile in iOS

People, be patient with me, please...

I download Jpcap source build for Mac OS X from here: http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/Jpcap/doc/download.html

Then, I'm following the tutorial for installing it (for Mac OS X) from here: http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/Jpcap/doc/install.html

It says: 4. Go to '[Jpcap extracted directory]/src/c' directory. 5. Run 'make'.

When I go to /src/c, I see a file named "Makefile", without an extension. What should I do with it?

PS: I already have Xcode installed in my machine.

Please, t开发者_JS百科ell me in details, cause I don't have much experience in iOS, and my main language is not English. Thanks!

You are seeing what is expected: just a file called Makefile.

make is an executable which will read any Makefile in the current directory.

So, just run make.

I think it might be easier to use a packaging system like macports, Fink or Homebrew to build these sort of things, as someone else will have done the packaging of the builds for you.

(Also, btw, it is not 'MACOS', but Mac OS X.)
