What packages do i need to install in order to use a Makefile. I've already installed cmake, would i need ocamlmakefile? My problem is that whenever i type 'make' into the terminal, i'm told "make command not found".

+3  A: 

You need GNU make.

CMake and other make programs use other filenames generally.

It actually depends. There's quite many different dialects of make, if it's a complicated makefile that may matter. GNU make is a good start however, if it does not work, post a snippet from the makefile and see if anyone recognize the dialect.
