error: can't exec '/usr/bin/make' (No such file or directory)

Thomas,

Have you installed the Xcode command line tools (open the Xcode Preferences window, select the Downloads tab, and check that the tools are marked as installed)? Maybe selecting the proper tool version under the Locations tab could help as well.

Best regards

[ThomasJaeger]

I don't have anything regarding the command line tools under the Downloads tab. But,
under the location tab, I have the following:

Command Line Tools: Xcode 4.5.2 (4G2008a)
    /Application/Xcode.app 

Do I need to download additional tools?

[defagos]

Seems ok. Can you open a terminal and run the xcodebuild -version command, just to be sure? Does running the command /usr/bin/make -v also work?

Another possible cause: Does the path to your local CoconutKit folder contains whitespaces? If yes, you should remove them.

Hope that helps.

[ThomasJaeger]

Terminal output is as follows:

Last login: Tue Nov 20 18:27:59 on console
Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:~ thomasjaeger$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 4.5.2
Build version 4G2008a
Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:~ thomasjaeger$ /usr/bin/make -v
-bash: /usr/bin/make: No such file or directory
Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:~ thomasjaeger$ 

I opened the CoconutKit under the following path:

/Users/thomasjaeger/Downloads/CoconutKit-master

So, no white spaces.

[defagos]

Strange: Your make command does not seem to be installed under the standard /usr/bin location (though the companion xcodebuild command is available).

Try running the sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer command, which sets the Xcode command line tools to use. This might hopefully fix it.

Did you install Xcode through the AppStore or using a dmg? Do you really haven't any reference to the Command Line Tools under Preferences -> Downloads -> Components (even if you click the Check and install now button)?

[ThomasJaeger]

I tried the sudo command without success. I downloaded this version of Xcode via the AppStore. The only references I have under the download tab are the iOS Simulators (5.1, 5.0, and 4.3). No command line tools.

I also downloaded the November command line tools package from:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=for%20Xcode%20-#

But, that did not resolve it.

When I open up the package content of Xcode.app, and go down to:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin

I can see the make tool. Should I just copy the whole folder out?

[ThomasJaeger]

Ok, I did the following two commands which got rid of the /usr/bin problem:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer /Developer

But now I get this error:

/bin/sh: ../Submodules/make-fmwk/make-fmwk.sh: No such file or directory

[defagos]

Great, we are almost done.

As the log shows, the make-fmwk.sh command (which I use to build the binaries) is a submodule. Just run git submodules update --init from the CoconutKit directory to update it.

BTW, the projects CoconutKit-demo and CoconutKit-dev are identical in terms of functionality. The difference is that the CoconutKit-demo project builds the binaries first, whereas the CoconutKit-dev project uses the source code directly. I use CoconutKit-demo to track down potential linker issues, but it is slower to build. In general, you can run CoconutKit-dev to play with CoconutKit demos.

It is still useful to have all build tools correctly set if you want to build the most recent binaries yourself, though. I hope this is now the case.

[ThomasJaeger]

ok, I tried to issue the Git command but get the following:

Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:downloads thomasjaeger$ cd CoconutKit-master
Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:CoconutKit-master thomasjaeger$ git submodules update --init
git: 'submodules' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?
    submodule

I must be using the Git command wrongly.

[defagos]

Sorry, there is a typo in the command I gave you. You must use git submodule update --init

[ThomasJaeger]

Sorry to keep bothering you with this; but, this is what I'm getting now:

Last login: Mon Nov 26 10:39:47 on ttys000
Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:CoconutKit-master thomasjaeger$ git submodule update --init
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:CoconutKit thomasjaeger$ git submodule update --init
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:CoconutKit thomasjaeger$ 

What's the exact directory I should be executing the command:

git submodule update --init

I tried executing from both directories with no success:

CoconutKit-master
CoconutKit-master\CoconutKit

[defagos]

You need to run the git submodule command from the repository root directory, in your case CoconutKit-master. But after reading your logs it seems the directory you have is not a git repository. You probably haven't cloned the repository, but downloaded the source file archive instead.

Use the three commands below instead. The repository will be cloned and all submodules will be updated correctly:

$ git clone git://github.com/defagos/CoconutKit.git
$ cd CoconutKit
$ git submodule update --init 

[ThomasJaeger]

I feel like I'm almost there. :-) When I use the command:

Thomas-Jaegers-MacBook-Pro:~ thomasjaeger$ git clone git://github.com/defagos/CoconutKit.git
Cloning into 'CoconutKit'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection refused

I can not connect. I'm behind a corporate firewall and I'm wondering if git uses a port other than port 80. I will try it from home later tonight.

[defagos]

Alternatively, and if you cannot wait, you can download the current version of make-fmwk as a zip file here, and uncompress its contents to Submodules/make-fmwk

[ThomasJaeger]

Good News: It's working. :-) That did it. It's compiling now and Demo is running.

Thank you so much for helping me getting this to work. I feel like I still have so much to learn with XCode, Objective-C etc. I started back in 2008 but still never stop learning. Thanks again for all your efforts and sharing your experiences. Keep up the great documentation as well.

[ThomasJaeger]

I forgot to mention that I did try to use this command from work:

git clone http://github.com/defagos/CoconutKit.git

instead of:

git clone git://github.com/defagos/CoconutKit.git

Which worked behind the firewall.

[defagos]

I am glad you could finally setup your project correctly. Thanks for your comments!

[yosoul93]

it really helps, thanks!
