Using 'make' on OS X

Solution 1:

For those of you who get to this page using Xcode 4.3 and Lion, the command line tools are no longer bundled by default, and there is no /Developer anymore. To install them, open Xcode, go to Preferences -> Downloads -> Components -> Command Line Tools. This should install make, gcc etc.

Solution 2:

Have you installed the Apple developer tools? What happens if you type gcc -v ?

It look as if you do not have downloaded the development stuff. You can get it for free (after registration) from http://developer.apple.com/

Solution 3:

There is now another way to install the gcc toolchain on OS X through the osx-gcc-installer this includes:

• GCC
• LLVM
• Clang
• Developer CLI Tools (purge, make, etc)
• DevSDK (headers, etc)

The download is 282MB vs 3GB for Xcode.
