etc/phones etc/remote aren't found in Ubuntu

The root Makefile wants to use etc/phones etc/remote, which do not exist in my Ubuntu.

uname -a on my system gives this:

Linux alex-VirtualBox 3.8.0-38-generic #56~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 13 16:23:47 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Can we comment out those two files in the root Makefile or create empty/dummy ones on the fly when none exist?

They are generated as part of the build process. It's probably a sign that something didn't work right in the building - usually a required library or executable isn't installed.

Run

$ make >/dev/null

and see what errors you get - it may give a clue.

Found nothing. Then uncommented those two file names and rebuilt successfully. Whatever it was, it's probably fixed now. OK to close, I guess.
