It simply stands in the package 'make-3.77-11mdk' on the mdk CD. Try to
install it, and you should be much more successfull.
When you have to search for such things, you should consider using a
good command line to search for it. Mount your mandrake cdrom and type :
for i in `ls /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/*.rpm` ; do rpm -qpl $i |grep make
&& echo $i ; done
