makeobj command not found error

Question

I'm trying to run make command on a new Mac machine (OSX).

shubham@IN:~/code/xps/bus_boarding_paper$ make
-bash: makeobj: command not found

My Makefile is as follows:

title=bus_boarding_paper
target=$(title).pdf

all: pdf

bus_boarding_paper.pdf: pdf

pdf: $(title).tex title_page/*.tex
    pdflatex $(title).tex
    bibtex $(title).aux
    pdflatex $(title).tex
    pdflatex $(title).tex

There is no related post online with a clear solution. SO also shows no results.

What does this error message mean? It is not clear to me.

PS: Another friend of mine had this problem on Fedora too.

And have you got `makeobj` installed and on your `$PATH`? Alternatively, remove that alias. — Biffen, Jan 23 '15 at 09:45
No makeobj is not there. I did `brew install makeobj`. Nothing found. — Shubham Chaudhary, Jan 23 '15 at 09:46
So... no. To summarise; you run `make`, `make` is an alias for `makeobj` in your shell, you haven't got `makeobj` so Bash tells you that it can't run `makeobj`. — Biffen, Jan 23 '15 at 09:47
I can't find anyway online to install makeobj in Mac. Can you give me some direction or clue about where to look? — Shubham Chaudhary, Jan 23 '15 at 09:48

In my case I was using a kde-bashrc file which aliased make to makeobj. You can figure out details using type make and then figure out accordingly.

I unaliased make and I was good to go.
