error trying to build mmu-less uClinux

I've seen others getting this error but none of the solutions seem to help me. I'm trying to get an mmu-less uClinux kernel running for one of the de2 example machines.

When I do

$make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=<path>

I get the error

make[3]:Entering directory '/root/nios2-linux/linux-2.6'

make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'hwselect'. Stop.

followed by the rest of the sub-makes exiting.

make menuconfig worked just fine before this, and the prebuilt toolchain seems to be working. I have both ../linux-2.6 and ../uClinux-dist on the test-nios2 branch.

Thanks very much for the help!

    I figured out my problem. I had tried to build the kernel before I switched to the test-nios2 branch, and for some reason that seems to have prevented it from building after I switched. I just deleted my nios2-linux directory, and redid everything from the start making sure to checkout the test-nios2 branch before I tried building anything.
