In the README.md, ## Example Use explains that “This example uses gcoap as a server on RIOT native. Then we send a request
from a libcoap example client on the Linux host.” So I downloaded the libcoap-develop.zip, unpacked it then tried to make it.
I refered to the URL “https://github.com/obgm/libcoap” to download libcoap-develop.zip that is written
in the /pkg/libcoap/Makefile.
To make libcoap, I operate the steps as following,
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
The last operation “make” output a error message “** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.”
Question 1: Are the URL “https://github.com/obgm/libcoap” and the
downloaded file “libcoap-develop.zip” correct to test libcoap
example client on the Linux host ?.
Question 2: If the downloaded file is correct, why does “make” operation fail ?.
Yes, you downloaded the correct file. The goal for the gcoap README is to build the coap-client and coap-server examples in the libcoap examples directory.
I ran through the same build steps on my Ubuntu laptop, but I don't see an error message at the end of the 'make' command. I was then able to run the libcoap examples. Are you sure all of the steps worked correctly? Really this is a question for the libcoap project. Then we'd be happy to help use it with gcoap.
I checked operation steps again, found the second step “./configure” outputs a error message.
Now I changed the second operation to “./configure --disable-manpages” that make correctly and do not output any errors.
It was a easy mistake I overlooked the error message.
Thank you for noticing it and providing good avdices.
