Makefile cannot find executable - no such file or directory

I have a minimal makefile used in a flutter project:

run-profile:
    flutter run -t lib/main_dev.dart --profile

I run make run-profile and get this error

flutter run -t lib/main_dev.dart --profile
make: flutter: No such file or directory
make: *** [run-profile] Error 1

I can run in same terminal totally fine the command flutter and get normal outputs etc

flutter 
Manage your Flutter app development.

Common commands:

  flutter create <output directory>
    Create a new Flutter project in the specified directory.

  flutter run [options]
    Run your Flutter application on an attached de

/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin


/Users/me/flutter/bin

You could add it in PATH variable, the path where flutter is present before so that it will always consider this path while searching first.
The step can be done inside your makefile also in below way:

export PATH := /Users/kristi.jorgji/flutter/bin/flutter: $(PATH)
run-profile:
    flutter run -t lib/main_dev.dart --profile

Note : Ensure you have flutter executable present in the path that you mentioned /Users/kristi.jorgji/flutter/bin/flutter
If flutter executable is present in bin directory of your mentioned path, then you need to give path till /Users/kristi.jorgji/flutter/bin
