Hey I am trying to run mix release on my ubuntu vps and I am getting this error:

==> bcrypt_elixir
could not compile dependency :bcrypt_elixir, "mix compile" failed. You can recompile
this dependency with "mix deps.compile bcrypt_elixir", update it with "mix deps.update bcrypt_elixir" or clean it with "mix deps.clean bcrypt_elixir"
==> user_restfulapi_phx
** (Mix) "make" not found in the path. If you have set the MAKE environment variable,please make sure it is correct.

my elixir and erlang versions are:

Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [ds:2:2:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]

IEx 1.7.0 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 20)

I tried installing an older version of erlang but got the same error

:wave:

According to the error, make is not found on your system.

On ubuntu, try sudo apt install make or sudo apt install --reinstall make if it’s already installed but missing from the PATH.

Using distillery and latest Elixir?

If so, you will want to update your distillery dependency to either git master or one of the 2.0 rc’s as it has a fix for this.

Seems similar to https://github.com/bitwalker/distillery/issues/431.

using the latest rc release fixed it :smile:

I had a similar problem but with the erlang version and the c compiler, installing both did not do much, but reducing the :bcrypt_elixir version to 0.12 stooped the compilation errors.

This works. I did

sudo apt install make

and then was prompted to install additional dependencies.

** (Mix) Could not compile with "make" (exit status: 2).
You need to have gcc and make installed. If you are using
Ubuntu or any other Debian-based system, install the packages
"build-essential". Also install "erlang-dev" package if not
included in your Erlang/OTP version. If you're on Fedora, run
"dnf group install 'Development Tools'".

Once I did sudo apt install build-essential then everything works fine.
