compile problems gnome-vfs-2.0.1

["Tony Leake" <tony_leake hotmail com>]

Hi,

firstly I hope this is the correct list to post my question. Appologies if 
it is not.

I am trying to build gnome2 desktop from source (I have never done this 
before.) I have built several packages in the order specified on the gnome 
web site but when I try to compile gnome-vfs it fails with the following 
error.

Making all in monikers
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/sources/gnome/gnome-vfs-2.0.1/monikers'
Makefile:484: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sources/gnome/gnome-vfs-2.0.1/monikers'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sources/gnome/gnome-vfs-2.0.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Here are a few lines around line 484 of my makefile:

install-am: all-am
       @$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) install-exec-am install-data-am

installcheck: installcheck-recursive
install-strip:
       $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) INSTALL_PROGRAM="$(INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM)" \
         `test -z '$(STRIP)' || \
           echo "INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV=STRIPPROG='$(STRIP)'"` install

clean-generic:

distclean-generic:
       -rm -f Makefile $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES) stamp-h stamp-h[0-9]*

maintainer-clean-generic:
       @echo "This command is intended for maintainers to use"
       @echo "it deletes files that may require special tools to  rebuild."
clean: clean-recursive

clean-am: clean-generic clean-libtool mostlyclean-am

dist-all: distdir
       $(AMTAR) chof - $(distdir) | GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) gzip -c
>$(distdir).tar.gz
       -chmod -R a+w $(distdir) >/dev/null 2>&1; rm -rf $(distdir)
distclean: distclean-recursive
       -rm -f config.status config.cache config.log
distclean-am: clean-am distclean-generic distclean-hdr distclean-libtool \
       distclean-tags

dvi: dvi-recursive

dvi-am:

info: info-recursive


the actual line 484 is the one that says:
@echo "it deletes files that may require special tools to  rebuild."

I am fairly novice at this (if ./configure && make && make install fails i'm 
a little lost )

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
