How to use GNU Make on Windows?
I'm using GNU Make from the GnuWin32 project, see http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ but there haven't been any updates for a while now, so I'm not sure on this project's status.
Although this question is old, it is still asked by many who use MSYS2.
I started to use it this year to replace CygWin, and I'm getting pretty satisfied.
To install make, open the MSYS2 shell and type the following commands:
# Update the package database and core system packagespacman -Syu# Close shell and open again if needed# Update againpacman -Su# Install makepacman -S make# Test it (show version)make -v
