*** No rule to make target /usr/share/fortune/perl', needed bybuild/etc/fortune.txt'. Stop.

When you run make you will see that after that error it says something like make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/george/Documents/dev/jsos/kernel'

If you take a look at the makefile in there you will see that the only occurance of perl is a rule to copy /usr/share/fortune/perl to another directory. This means the file must be installed (probably as part of a package).

I ran Ubuntu package search on perl and found the package "fortunes" which contains that file. There you have it, you just need to have fortunes installed. On my system the file is actually in /usr/share/games/fortunes/perl, so I replaced the path from the error with that path inside kernel/Makefile
