Thank you for your comment. I just feared this kind of answer. I'm a totally newbie and not very used to Linux. I've followed the "User Manuel" for the board. But there is nowhere to be seen how to compile one of the projects from the packages. I've copied the packages to /home/simon/packages. Just to try out one project like /home/simon/packages/getting-started-project.at91sam9g45-ek . And then I write >> make it gives the make: *** No rule to make target 'all'. Stop.

I'm lost in how to do anything with any of the projects in this package. Please advise. Kindly...
