I downloaded some post quantum algorithms from NIST and tested them. Some codes need to use Keccak package, so I downloaded it. When I tried to "make generic64/libkeccak.a", I got an error message:

make: *** No rule to make target 'generic64/libkeccak.a'. Stop.

How can I fix it? Thank you for any help.

  • Why are you trying to make the library if it's already installed? Do you mean you downloaded the source and want to build it? Or is the library already built and installed? – Useless Mar 02 '21 at 11:47
  • Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. Yes, I downloaded the keccak pakage and want to build it. I got an error when building the required static library. – andycc1126 Mar 02 '21 at 13:00

Can't comment due to less reputation.

This maybe because:

  1. There is no Makefile in current working directory
  2. The Makefile doesn't have any specific rule related to your request.

If you run make blablablaSomeRandomThing, you'll get the same error. Maybe try running make, or better will be to open Makefile and see the present rules.
