No one distro has gnustep-make as requirement for lazarus. Will you write output (logs) with your error?
I am a complete beginner with Mageia and Lazarus was the first package I tried to install; no problem with the software managing tool with default settings. But when I tried to install the Lazarus IDE, I obtained the following message under the make tab: The "make" executable typically has the name "make". It is needed for building the IDE. Please give the full path since I had no such file, I tried to start despite the message by pressing the "Start IDE" button, I obtained the following message: without a proper "make" executable the compiling of the IDE is not possible. I searched then in the software managing tool with the word "make" and obtained a list of packages; among that list I tried (more or less at random) gnustep-make because it seemed the most general (the less specialised) and it worked. I'm not able to state if it is a pure coincidence or if it is a true dependency. Does this answer your question Alex?
Thanks for your report, I see your issue. You're about not installation, but about the first run of lazarus-ide. Yes, lazarus looking for /usr/bin/make and "make" package (not "gnustep-make"). Only Alt Linux has "make" package as requirement for lazarus and it is auto-generated requirement while building package. So, "make" requirement should be added in spec file manually: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/lazarus/current/SPECS/lazarus.spec?r1=908552&r2=908551&pathrev=908552

Hi François, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues. If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard. Thanks, Marja (In case this report needs to stay open for a supported release: Reassigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no longer a registered maintainer for this package.)
