Building from source not working

[Christoffer Rasmussen]

Hello I followed this guide: http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html
But it stops immediately after writing "make".
I use Void Linux. But I get following error message:

make build/make/Makefile

My build log in SAGE_ROOT/logs/pkgs is attached

Thanks in advance.

What happens if you just do:

./configure

in the sage directory? Note that void linux is not an officially supported platform, so it is not to surprising that there are some problems.
