--------------------------------------------

             Summary: give a better error message if native build dependencies are missng 
                 Key: HADOOP-8482
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8482
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Priority: Trivial


It would be nice to check if native build dependencies are missing, and give a clearer error from one of the top-level pom.xml files.

At a minimum, we need make and CMake to be installed. 

Currently, the error is just along the lines of "CMake: file not found" or "make: file not found" but we could improve it.
