Make command not available right after installation

[elwood]

The make command is not available after installation. As it's important to attract new developers, it should be available IMO.

~> make
bash: make: command not found
~> find / -name make*
/boot/system/packages/make-4.1-5-x86_64.hpkg
/boot/system/packages/makefile_engine-r1~beta5_hrev58121-1-any.hpkg
/boot/system/documentation/man/man8/makewhatis.8

I'm on hrev58180, installed 2 weeks ago from the nightly image and then updated.

Make is included by default, you have to unselect it from the optional packages list while installing to not get it. I have downloaded and installed the nightly image to check that that had not changed recently and indeed make is installed.

That you have the package but not the program means that it is currently not active. Maybe you booted to a state where you had uninstalled it? Also, if you updated to hrev58180, I would expect makefile_engine to also be that version. Any problem with that update?

If you've not removed them, you can check previous states in /system/packages/administrative/, and whether it was active in each of them looking in the corresponding activated_packages file.

grep '^make-' /system/packages/administrative/{,state*/}activated_packages
