No rule to make target `/Makefile', needed by `Makefile?

I'll go out on a limb: you have an extra slash. Try omitting the final slash in $(LEVEL).

I had the same problem trying to write a new pass for LLVM I followed these instructions trying to make a HelloB (as Hello already exsited) http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html#quickstart.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
