Description
I followed the instructions on the Bluefish website for installation which said I had to install MacPorts which I did according to the instructions.
However when I then try to install Bluefish I get a string of errors - see attached screenshot of Terminal window

The screenshot shows the error message
can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path
which means you need to install Xcode. Please see the FAQ entry.

I am puzzled by this as XCode is already installed as I use it for iPhone App development.

Sounds like Xcode wasn't installed with the Unix Development option enabled, which is what gets /usr/bin/make installed (and is what build.cmd is wanting).

Thanks. It might be worth updating the installation instructions to be a bit more specific about the XCode installation requirements.

The instructions do already say "Ensure that the option for command line development, which is labeled Unix Development in the Xcode 3.x installer, is checked"...

Sorry, I am sure that I was not taken to that page for instructions on installing but as a number of days have now elapsed I am not sure what route I took to get to the stage of installing Macports. I have had a look on the Bluefish website but it doesn't appear to be on there. Thanks for your help.
