install python and make in cygwin
Look into cygwin native package manager, devel
category. You should find make

again. This was the solution to me, there are a few specific things to check.

- Run the
setup.exe
. Don't be afraid, as new package installs append to your installation and do not over write - In the
setup.exe
, make sure you run the install from the Internet and NOT your local folder. This was where I was running into problems. Search "make" and make sure you select to Install it, do not leave this as "Default".
