New installation can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make'

[hakdogan75@…]

I am a new user of mac os x(version 10.8.3). Xcode installed on my system before installing MacPorts. Xcode version 4.6.1, path /Users/hakdogan/Library/Developer/Xcode

I get an error when trying to install MongoDB.

hakdogan:~ hakdogan$ sudo port install mongodb
Warning: The Command Line Tools for Xcode don't appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.
Warning: See http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html for more information.
--->  Computing dependencies for mongodb..Error: Unable to execute port: can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it?

I looked at the file macports.conf. I changed the developer_dir line.

Before

#developer_dir       /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

After

developer_dir       /Users/hakdogan/Library/Developer/Xcode

However, the problem was not resolved.

I would be happy if you help.

Don't set developer_dir. MacPorts is smart enough to figure out where it is on its own.

However:

Warning: See http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html for more information.

I suggest you go ahead and install the command line tools from Xcode's preferences.

Thank you...

That’s a pretty good question.
