Re: Compiling on MacOS

[Saul Tobin]

Apparently XCode ships with GNU make 3.81 due to later versions using GPL3,
and Lilypond's regression tests require $(file ...), which seems to have
been added with GNU make 4.0. Contributor docs currently list GNU make 3.78
as the minimum.

I was able to compile with no issues by calling Homebrew installed gmake,
which is up to date.
