Gani Network Driver Won't Install - make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make targ...

I attached a README file that I will refer to.

I successfully completed everything in the README file until step 4.
Code:
# pwd
/gani/gani-2.4.4
# ls
COPYING                 Makefile.macros         gem.c
Makefile                Makefile.sparc_gcc      gem.h
Makefile.amd64_gcc      Makefile.sparc_suncc    i386
Makefile.amd64_suncc    Makefile.sparcv9_gcc    mii.h
Makefile.common         Makefile.sparcv9_suncc  obj
Makefile.config         README.japanese-euc     rtl8169reg.h
Makefile.config_gld2    README.txt              sparc
Makefile.config_gld3    adddrv.sh               sparcv9
Makefile.i386_gcc       amd64                   version
Makefile.i386_suncc     gani_gem.c
# rm obj Makefile
# ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
# ln -s ${KARCH} obj
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `install'
#

I'm not familiar with what the 'make' command does but what does it mean when it doesn't know how to make target 'install'? How do I tell it how to make target 'install'? Smilie

CREATE_MAKEFILES()														CREATE_MAKEFILES()

NAME
create_makefiles - Recreates all Makefiles beneath a directory SYNOPSIS
create_makefiles [dir] DESCRIPTION
create_makefiles recreates all Makefiles in dir and its (recursed) subdirectories from the corresponding Makefile.am templates. This script must be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing configure). This script saves time compared to re-running configure completely. If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the environment variables below), it will be assumed that each Makefile.am and Makefile.in belongs beneath the source directory and that each Makefile belongs beneath the build directory. This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit. ENVIRONMENT
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source directory is different from the build directory. If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used. OBJ_SUBJDIR Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux. OBJ_REPLACEMENT A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#. SEE ALSO
create_makefile(1) make(2) AUTHORS
create_makefiles was written by David Faure<faure@kde.org>. This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton<bab@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). CREATE_MAKEFILES()
