I'm trying to compile nmap 4.11 on an aix 5.2 machine and get the following error when attempting the 'make' command;

make
"Makefile", line 1: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double colon operator.
"Makefile", line 14: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double colon operator.
"Makefile", line 15: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double colon operator.

"makefile.dep", line 0: make: 1254-027 Cannot open makefile.dep.
make: 1254-058 Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue.



any ideas or suggestions? I have googled but can not find anything specific to this issue. Thanks

Let me know, I really need this tool!

tryto download the nmap voor your aix version
is already precompiled .
just unzip and nmap hosts

AIX PDSLIB Package: nmap
