Title says it all. I googled around but only found methods using rpm, which is not installed on my mac.

You can test $(MAKE_VERSION), which was added in Version 3.69 (late 1993, judging from the ftp listing) according to 'NEWS'. On a related note, I've been using this: ifeq (3.81,$(firstword $(sort $(MAKE_VERSION) 3.81))) # stuff that requires make-3.81 or higher endif and would be glad to learn a clearer method.
make The purpose of the make utility is to determine automatically which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issue the commands to recompile them. you can use make with any programming language whose compiler can be run with a shell command.
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Monterey or macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.
'gmake' refers specifically to GNU make. 'make' refers to the system's default make implementation; on most Linux distros this is GNU make, but on other unixes, it could refer to some other implementation of make, such as BSD make, or the make implementations of various commercial unixes.
The easiest way would be to run make --version. E.g., on my machine it outputs:
mureinik@computer ~$ make --version
