I cloned libzip from github and now want to do the make but it gives an error ***No rule to make target '/Makefile.common' Stop. The cloned folder (libzip) has 3 files (libzip.spec, sources, Makefile).This is the Makefile, what could be the problem. 

# This makefile is downloading any file found in 
# the 'sources' file already existing in this directory
# and validating the sha256sum of the archive against it.
NAME := libzip

define find-common-dir
for d in common ../common ../../common ; do if [ -f $$d/Makefile.common ] ; then echo "$$d"; break ; fi ; done
endef
COMMON_DIR := $(shell $(find-common-dir))

include $(COMMON_DIR)/Makefile.common

SOURCEFILES := $(shell cat sources 2>/dev/null | awk '{ print $$2 }' | awk -F'*' '{ print $$2 }')

sources: $(SOURCEFILES)

$(SOURCEFILES):
    @for sourcefile in $(SOURCEFILES); do \
        $(CLIENT) $(LOOKASIDE_URI)/$(NAME)/$${sourcefile}; \
    done

    sha256sum -c sources || ( echo 'SHA256 check failed' && rm $(SOURCEFILES); exit 1 )

clean:
    rm $(SOURCEFILES)

This makefile is looking for Makefile.common (in ., ../common/ and ../../common/) and not finding it. It has no rule to build Makefile.common, it just expects to find it somewhere. – Beta
What is the link to the libzip you cloned? I tried this one: github.com/JanX2/libzip-git, but it looks different from what you describe, and it works fine. – Reinier Torenbeek

Please use the official mercurial repository: http://hg.nih.at/libzip/ and let us know if you still have problems.
