Installing Bakefile in Mac osx 10.11

I have been trying to install bakefile(v0.2.9) in mac osx 10.11. Whenever I try to install bakefile using the dmg file I get The installation failed.The installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install error.

I even tried building it from the source code(v1.2.5.1 from github). I built it using the sudo make command.However sudo make install command throws No rule to make target install.

Is there any other way to install bakefile in macosx 10.11?

Edit : Finally I managed to install the bakefile 0.2.9 in osx 10.11. I can't use the latest version as it does not supports the bakefile we have been using in our projects.

Though the installation is successful,I get the segmentation fault 11 when I try to build the bakefiles(.bkl). Some of the forums suggested that the problem could be associated with python 2.7. I followed all the steps needed to resolve the issue. But none of them helped.

I have been using python 2.7.11. How can I avoid this segmentation fault?

I advice against using the legacy 0.2.9 version.

I even tried building it from the source code(v1.2.5.1 from github).

You didn’t, that’s the problem — you tried to build a very different version, 0.2.9 != 1.2.5.1. The relation between these two branches is explained at http://bakefile.org — they are incompatible and different.

If you want to build 0.2.9 from sources, you need to download and build 0.2.9.

If you want to use the 1.x version, you can download packaged “binary” version, as explained at https://github.com/vslavik/bakefile

P.S. You don’t need to, and shouldn’t, use sudo when installing somewhere you typically have access to, such as /usr/local on OS X.
