Using 'make' on OS X

Viewed 141759

I have a MacBook Pro that I'm trying to do some development on.

I have a program I want to build, and when I went to use make to build it, I got a "command not found" error. I did some googling and Stack Overflow searches and it doesn't look like this is a common problem. Why don't I have make installed and how do I get it?

I'm extra confused, because I know I used it relatively recently (in the past month or so) when I was on this laptop.

In addition, if you have migrated your user files and applications from one mac to another, you need to install Apple Developer Tools all over again. The migration assistant does not account for the developer tools installation.
