command "make" not found on Mac OS X Lion

[Brian_A_]

I have upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7. When I try to compile, I get -bash: make command not found.

The ifort command works just fine.

yes, looks like they moved it around a bit.

First, you will need to get Xcode 4.1 from the App Store and get it installed.

Next, on Snow Leopard /usr/bin/make was a link to /usr/bin/gnumake.

On Lion, they moved it: gnumake and make are in /Developer/usr/bin. And like before, make is a link to gnumake.

Either add /Developer/usr/bin to your path OR symbolic link /usr/bin/make to /Developer/usr/bin/make

I should add that besides gnumake/make, it looks like they moved all the developer utilities like nm, ld, yacc, otool, etc. over to /Developer/usr/bin. Probably they want to seperate the developer tools from the core OS things in /usr/bin

because of this, I'd have to recommend just adding /Developer/usr/bin to your PATH
