That should not be necessary, all makefiles in svn contain support for all targets. The error "The Makefile doesn't support target can't-executed" indicates that the Makefile tried to execute the compiler to figure out for what target it should install files, but could not execute it (hence the "can't-executed" target name).

It's possible that fpcmake also needs to be in the path (I also remember that for some reason it's executed during make install), but it's not the cause of this particular error.
