make: *** No rule to make target 'generic64/libkeccak.a'

Question

I downloaded some post quantum algorithms from NIST and tested them. Some codes need to use Keccak package, so I downloaded it. When I tried to "make generic64/libkeccak.a", I got an error message:

make: *** No rule to make target 'generic64/libkeccak.a'. Stop.

How can I fix it? Thank you for any help.

Can't comment due to less reputation.

This maybe because:

1. There is no Makefile in current working directory
2. The Makefile doesn't have any specific rule related to your request.

If you run make blablablaSomeRandomThing , you'll get the same error. Maybe try running make , or better will be to open Makefile and see the present rules.
