make :no rule to make target. stop

Question

I am using lubuntu 32 bit in a virtual machine and my host is a windows 7 32 bit. I am trying to install ethercat master from Igh. I have successfully overcome across few errors and this error couldn't be resolved.

You need to first run ./configure. There is no Makefile in your directory
