How to make migrations for app in django 1.5

Since the makemigrations command is not available in Django 1.5, I am not sure how to use migrations to sync all django apps. The migrate command does not solve the issue and I instead get a GhostMigrations error and "! These migrations are in the database but not on disk:"

I'm assuming you know you're using a 3rd party library to handle migrations in Django 1.5? The library, South, was adapted and adopted as core Django from version 1.7+. But migrations with pre-1.7 Django and South use slightly different syntax from the later core migrations. For example, you use the command manage.py schemamigration along with flags like --initial and --auto, rather than makemigrations. Official docs here. See this guide for a walkthrough. And see this similar question about GhostMigrations.

Better still, upgrade your Django project to a minimum of 1.7 and then you can use the simpler makemigrations command.
