Hello there,

I am new to the make install and all that. I just downloaded a couple things I want to install. It may be the wrong thing to install but here goes, and someone can tell me if there is something better out there.

I downloaded Enlightenment X windows client and the dlcompat-20010116 that it needs to run, but when I follow the instructions under root and type "make install" it tells me "make: Command not found". Just wondering what I am doing wrong and if this is the best way to go about it.

Thanks ahead of time,
Phillip

I believe you need to install the developer tools to use make.

Exactly -- you need to install the Developer Tools to get make, a compiler, and the other development goodies.

Also, I'm assuming you have X installed and working before downloading Enlightnement stuff, right? If not, there's websites on how to install X. I'd check macosxhints.com and related sites . . .
