And I was told to create an issue here. Here it is:

Hello,

I am using Phongap 1.7.0, the latest.
I followed the instructions on http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/16494781/Getting-Started-with-PhoneGap-webOS; downloaded everything (and cygwin includes make), started the virtual machine, however I cannot seem to get the make command to work now.

I made a copy of the webos folder and called it "webos-Copy". Here is the text from the cygwin terminal (also see the attached screenshot):

$ make
Makefile:45: *** missing separator. Stop.
jnahlen@jnahlen /cygdrive/c/Users/jnahlen.SMITH/notsynched/phonegap-1.7.0/lib/webos-Copy
$
}}

As you can see, for some reason "make" is not working. Also, I am confused about which make commands I need to issue, there are several: make, make js, make copy_js, make package, make deploy.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit and would like to develop a PhoneGap application for the HP webOS Tablet, but I don't know what to do because this is not working.

If any more information is needed, please let me know.

Thanks,

• John
