I am trying to install a Hercules Webcam Deluxe on my Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bits). I followed this guide:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ov51x

Step by step, only changing

wget http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-1.5.4.tar.gz

by 1.5.9, because that is the latest version.

I get stacked here:

2.4. Prepare the installation files

make

2.5. Compile

Compile the modules:

sudo make install

Because, when I enter that in a terminal, I get this error:

make: *** No hay objetivos.  Alto.

For you, non Spanish-speaking-people, that is roughly translated as: "There are no objectives. Stop"

So... what can I do?

Thanks

Edit:

Terminal output:
