Hi Lex,

We will be teaching the SWC ‘make’ lesson for the first time in a
couple of weeks. Do we need to provide the learners with
instructions for installing make, or is it a default part of all
platforms? If not, are there any more-or-less curated installation
instructions available somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Lex Nederbragt
You'll need to provide installation instructions. Putting them into
the workshop template [1] was recently dropped in favour of putting
them into their lesson template [2], which hasn't yet happened. I use
my own, copying and pasting from [3] (which renders as [4]). Though,
as the SWC installer [5] installs GNU Make onto GitBash I'd change the
Windows instructions to be [6].
cheers,
mike

<p>
The Software Carpentry Windows installer installs Make.
<ul>
<li>
To test, open a Git Bash window, type <code>make</code>, and press Enter.
</li>
<li>
You should see the following message
<pre>make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.</pre>
This means that Make was successfully installed.
Otherwise, you'll see this error message:
<pre>bash: make: command not found</pre>
</li>
</ul>
