Trying to compile from source from git repo and get the following error:

~/BlakeBitcoin/src $ make -f makefile.unix
Building LevelDB ...
make[1]: Entering directory `/BlakeBitcoin/src/leveldb'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libleveldb.a'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/BlakeBitcoin/src/leveldb'
make: *** [leveldb/libleveldb.a] Error 2

I've dealt with this once before with another coin by simply copying these files from another coin's source but would be interested in finding out why this happens.
