Hello GNU folks, I recently had a problem building automake via Homebrew on OS X. Turns out the problem was that the path to Xcode contained a space: /Applications/Xcode 7.app — Removing the space caused the build to work correctly.
To Reproduce: 1. Install Xcode 2. Change the path from /Applications/Xcode.app to /Applications/Xcode 7.app 3. sudo xcode-select sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode\ 7.app/ 4. brew install automake Result: make: /Applications/Xcode: No such file or directory make: *** [install-am] Error 1 Workaround: Rename Xcode 7.app to Xcode7.app (sans the space), and then re-run xcode-select on the new path. The build now works. Spaces really should be ok though! :) -Michael
