Signal block make, make check, configure

I am trying to walk to the “howto” project to figure out what I need to
do
for my own project. I am currently just trying to generate the
“run_tests”
script in the python directory.

I have run: configure, and it seems to have worked fine. What else do I
need to do to generate the “run_tests” script?

Currently anytime I try “make check” in the python directory I get the
following error:

make: *** No rule to make target ‘check.’ Stop.
