… Forget about make, use “ant”, a 100% Java make-like utility. You don't have to know java to use it. It uses the same kind of principles than “make” but you write the make files in XML. Once you know the syntax, it is a lot simpler, coherent and maintainable than “make” files, and it is becoming a standard in the java world… Of course, you can use it to build whatever you want.
Check this out: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/
I hope this helps,
Bruno

You do not want MPW. You need the OS X Developer CD. You can get a fresh one by signing up (for free) at Apple Developer connection. After you do you will be able to log on and download the developer CD for OS X.
Good Luck.

Actually, according to Apple, if all you need is the make command then this should work. But in the same FTP site there is another section with a more updated version of “Make”:
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_Website_Downloads/

Same Here. And if your running OS X without the dev tools get them, they will change the whole OS X experience. I dont know how to code but i can add features and make interface tweaks to my apps. I Love It!

Brain, Thats For OS 7/8/9 Developers, Chris is on OS X. So he really needs yakk0 url. But he needs to download the 120 meg file if he didn't get a dev cd with his mac. And to download Dev Tools Chris, you need to make a apple dev connection account.

Brian,
I'm pretty sure mine is more applicable. From the site you linked:
“MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) is a product designed specifically for professional Macintosh software developers. It brings together a comprehensive collection of Macintosh core development tools designed to support C, C++, and assembly-language programmers who are writing software for Mac OS 7.x/8.x/9.x. MPW is an open, configurable, and scriptable development environment which provides the flexibility to support complex software development projects for 68K and Power Macintosh systems.”
OS X isn't mentioned. I've used the Apple Developer Tools (which I linked) on OS X to compile many open source programs and know it makes OS X compatible binaries.

Wouldn't it suck f you needed to make the make compiler? Try Google is my best advice, as I have no idea what is up with all the great unix packages under OS X. Otherwise, try http://www.apple.com.

Pick it up from http://developer.apple.com/ Apparently the average mac user needed "protection" from these tools.
