"How to get people to like you" or "How to get people like you"

Hello Teachers!
While reading a reduced format of "The Power of Positive Thinking" by N.V.Peale, I encountered the following title on chapter 11:
" How to get people to like you"
I thought that a base form was absolutely natural after verbs like " To get " and "to make"
Can you check this out for me?
Regards

make, yes, but not get.

make someone listen
get someone to listen

Maybe you were thinking of cases when an adjective follows.

That made me angry.
That got me angry.
