"sudo make install" returns "make: Nothing to be done for 'install'."

The last step won't work, guessing because there is no install file in the directory? Using Ubuntu (POP!_OS) 19.04

Everything else went sooth. Can open the app just fine, but it does not install to the system.

in Kali the same thing happens

• Be sure to have installed all the required dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential qtchooser qt5-default libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git zlib1g-dev automake autoconf libtool libjansson-dev

• make sure to have c-vtapi installed first
• run the commands as follows:

qmake
make
sudo make install

You can run qtchooser -run-tool=qmake -qt=5 to explicitly choose qt5's qmake tool.

I got this issue on Arch Linux, I've got all of the dependencies installed except zlib1g and qtchooser. I tried installing QtChooser but it conflicts with qt5-base and when I tried having it replaced, it would break dependencies for VirtualBox.

Facing the same issue with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Every dependence was installed. But same thing happening with sudo make install

$ sudo make install
make: Nothing to be done for 'install'.

Not working,

Executable file is located in ~/qt-virustotal-uploader/VirusTotalUploader
You can copy it anywhere or to the PATH ~/bin
It also makes sense to strip (bin and lib) to reduce size:
strip --strip-unneeded

For the future: sort files by type in the file manager and look for executable (binary) files.
