问题
Mac OS comes with make version 3.81 and I want a newer version (>=4.0) for use on some projects.
How can I install a newer version, preferably using brew?
That's related to GNU Make --output-sync doesn't work? as I want to use some feature output sync on parallel builds.
回答1:
brew ships a make in the homebrew/dupes tap. brew install homebrew/dupes/make puts a gmake binary in the PATH to avoid clashes with the default make version on macOS.
The option --with-default-names will install as make and thus shadow the default version.
See brew info homebrew/dupes/make for more details.
