ERROR - No rule to make target .depend needed by _depend

Hi...i am trying to build latest U-Boot( uboot-2010-03) for my lpc2129 board. but before adding and changing the board,cpu and make files i planned to build the existing latest uboot code..

I installed the arm-linux-gcc-3.3.2 cross compiler tool chain and put the path of bin file in PATH environment like that

[....]# echo $PATH

usr/lib/qt3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

[.....]# export PATH=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin:$PATH

[....]# echo $PATH

/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin:/usr/lib/qt3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

now i planned to build for the existing configuration lpc2292sodimm

so i used the commands

[root@localhost u-boot-2010.03]# make distclean [root@localhost u-boot-2010.03]# make lpc2292sodimm_config Configuring for lpc2292sodimm board...
