make: *** [port-target] Error 2 When trying to install GDAL for GeoDjango using Ubuntu 18.04 - django

Question

I am trying to install GeoDjango to use in my project. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 through VirtualBox. I am also using the GeoDjango installlation Guide to install Gdal. I have GEOS and PROJ.4 installled.
I have successfully run the below commands :
$ wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/1.11.2/gdal-1.11.2.tar.gz #success
$ tar xzf gdal-1.11.2.tar.gz #success
$ cd gdal-1.11.2 #success
Later I am supposed to do the below (according to the documentation):
$ ./configure
$ make # Go get some coffee, this takes a while.
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
However, when I run these lines:
$ ./configure #success
$ make # Go get some coffee, this takes a while. #ERROR SEE BELOW
I get the below error:
samir#samir-VirtualBox:~/gdal-1.11.2$ make # Go get some coffee, this takes a while.
(cd port; make)

How can I resolve this error ?

Answer 1

Please make sure you have ubuntu installed on your computer. If you
are using windows, install VirtualBox and download Ubuntu (Its a Linux
OS). You might have to do a basic course on Ubuntu either on YouTube
or Udemy then do
sudo apt install geos
sudo apt install proj4
sudo apt install gdal
sudo-apt install postgressql
sudo-apt install till postgis
that's it.. you are done as simple as that..
then download pgadmin3 (pgadmin4 is not available on ubuntu at the
time of this comment)
make the database on pgadmin3 (its way simpler than psql)
In your Virtual Env do
pip install dj-database-url
pip install psycopg2
pip install pillow
I suffered 2 weeks figuring this out.. Hopefully you don't have to
Trying this on Windows is next to impossible. Don't follow the
GeoDjango documents for installing GeoDjango with make and
make-install as that is very difficult.
