There is no problem with compiling, but I can't use $JOHN it means, I have to call the executable everytime with the full path. > $JOHN is defined, but nothing will be found In the docs and eg. in our config files, $JOHN is referring to the "run" directory but has nothing to do with environment variables even if it resembles one. A normal build is meant to be run as eg. "cd /path/to/john/run" and then "./john". There's also "system-wide builds" recommended for distros, where john's run directory is eg. "/usr/share/john/run" and john will be in PATH. Distros are also supposed to build fallback binaries, so the same "john" executable is used regardless of you having AVX-512 or anything down to just plain SSE2. See for example doc/README-DISTROS magnum
