Subject: make failed - Re: Need a little help cracking one
password
I downloaded john-1.8.0-jumbo.1.tar.gz, set up the build environment
(this on a Fedora 22 system), did the './configure && make' and it failed.
I am looking over at the screen of that system and see:
Makefile:294: recipe for target '../run/john' failed
make[1]: *** [../run/john] error 1
something about leaving directory
Makefile:185: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 2
So now what?
thank you
Bob
