'make' Error in mksurfdata_map

[Nivetha]

I am trying to get soil color data for the year 1920 at 0.1 * 0.1 degree resolution. Hence, I would like to run this:

mksurfdata.pl -y 1920 -r 0.1 X 0.1

But,I get an error saying 'make: *** No rule to make target' when I run the following code:

cd my_cesm_sandbox/components/clm/tools/mksurfdata_map/src
make

Could anyone please help me with this? Thanks!

I think the problem is just that you need to use a GNU make version here. Often make isn't a GNU make version, but gmake is. So check to make sure that you make is GNU by doing

make --version

If not, see if you have a GNU make version by another name (such as gmake).

If all you want to do is to see what soil color is at the highest resolution you can just look at the soil color dataset used to create other surface datasets. One way to get that is to do a "ncdump -h" on a surface dataset and see the list of files that went into creating the dataset.
