Although, I work in a team where a lot of devs are on Windows, and they complain about it.
- dlivingston 7y agoWhat do Windows devs prefer instead of Make?
- throwaway894345 7y agoI'm pretty sure MacOS and most of the headless Linux distributions require you to install it (from a package manager or similar). It's not hard, but usually the alternatives aren't hard to install either.
- papito 7y agoI've never had that issue. Make existed on all Mac systems I've worked on. Perhaps it got pulled in via other tools, but recently I ran into an issue with the Make on my Mac, and only because the version out of the box is a 3.x, from 2006.
- throwaway894345 7y agoI might be mistaken about MacOS, but it definitely doesn't exist on centos, ubuntu, debian, or alpine--at least not their headless/server variants.
- toast0 7y agoYou can run into issues with BSD Make being provided, but needing GNU Make though. Not hard to work through, though.
