Compile the AppWeb Webserver

Hey,

i'm actually trying to compile and run the AppWeb Webserver with the uClinux distribution and the ArriaGX II Dev Kit. I followed some Guides in the Altera Wiki to compile the uClinux and successfully run it on the ArriaGX II. Then I customized the Application and Library Settings and added the AppWeb Webserver. But now the make process ends with the following error: 

make: Betrete Verzeichnis '/home/nios/Projects/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/appWeb'
make.dep:12: config.make: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
make: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target »conf/make.os.«, 
  benötigt von »make.os«, zu erstellen.  Schluss.
make: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/home/nios/Projects/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/appWeb'

translation: 

make: enter directory '/home/nios/Projects/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/appWeb'
make.dep:12: config.make: file or directory not found
make: *** No rule available to make target »conf/make.os.«, 
  used by »make.os«.  end.
make: leave directory '/home/nios/Projects/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/appWeb'

I also tried to compile the AppWeb separately. The build process was successful but if i try to start the AppWeb the following error occurs: 

root:/bin/appweb/bin> ./appweb start
sh: syntax error: unexpected $

I'm really at a loss with this. Can anyone help me?

greetings Bergmann89.

    My guess is that appweb is a shell script that expects the shell to be bash, and you're using sash or hush.

    Hello community,

    I'm also trying to compile the *altera-delivered* "appWeb". After some adjustments (thanks to ykozlov for pointing to the right direction) I'm running into the same error like Bergmann89 did: 

    make: enter directory '/home/nios/Projects/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/appWeb'
make.dep:12: config.make: file or directory not found
make: *** No rule available to make target »conf/make.os.«, 
  used by »make.os«.  end.
make: leave directory '/home/nios/Projects/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/user/appWeb'

    Looking into the according Makefile under "...\appWeb\mpr\UNIX\" and regarding the above error message I assume that the Makefile has not been implemented.

    Due to I don't have much knowledge about this whole Makefile-stuff it's very frustrating at this point.

    Is there anybody out there who can give some advice or even better provide a correct Makefile for this app?

    I think this server-app is a very cool tool to provide dynamic webpages, using server-side JavaScript and PHP on uClinux.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Cheers!
