TL/DR: I upgraded stuff and now I can't run "make" - wtf?

I just upgraded from Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.8 Mountain Lion, and then installed XCode 4 (formerly I had Developer/Applications/Xcode (3.something). XCode 4 installed through the App Store application to /Applications. Somewhere along the way, I can no longer run the "make" command. And I've tried looking in all the usual /bins but can't find a "make".

Anyone know how to get my "make" command back?

Upgrading Apple stuff always breaks something... (it also broke my "git" command but I got that one back)

It is lovely ... even upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion with the XCode broke command line tools. Seriously?Sinan Ünür

You need to install the command line tools as described at installing "make" on Mac. They are not installed by default in Xcode 4.

Easiest way to install:

  1. Launch XCode
  2. Go to Preferences > Downloads > Components
  3. Click "Install" next to 'Command Line Tools'
