See https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/679593 ...
Hugin requires the 'make' utility to manage stitching, see this bug report:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2891704&group_id=77506&atid=550441

This is a packaging bug and needs to be reported to whoever supplied the Hugin package you are using.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Without make, all tries to make a panorama using hugin are ending in: 

execvp(make, -f, /home/slinux-user/tmp/huginmk_ckpgAF, test, all, clean) failed with error 2!

Actual Results:  
execvp(make, -f, /home/slinux-user/tmp/huginmk_ckpgAF, test, all, clean) failed with error 2!


Expected Results:  
making a panorama picture

This is a package error with a long, long beard.
Hugin isn't usable without make, and that a missing make is the cause for the given error message is all but evident.

Aside of that messages like "error 2" are messages coming from stone time - but that's another story. Indeed, for many possible unix/linux users the expectation to get messages like this are enough not even to try linux.

In fact, as a former system programmer I hadn't expected, that there's a linux distro without make as a default package. Such a decision isn't good for anything but producing strange error messages.
