cygwin

I installed cygwin with all the packages on windows 7 64 bit. For some reason the make command is giving me an error: bash make: command not found. I checked and in my bin folder, there is no make.exe. Can anyone help me on this? I really need make to work in CYGWIN. I dont wanna have to go to windows xp.

Does make work on Cygwin?

When you get to the screen that lets you select packages to install, find make and select it (it's probably under "Development" or something similar). Then you'll be able to run make from the Cygwin bash command line.

While instaling (updating) check 'Devel' to 'Install', it will install a lot of MB but helps. I don't have time to check which exacly I (we) need.

You probably have not installed make. Restart the cygwin installer, search for make, select it and it should be installed. By default the cygwin installer does not install everything for what I remember.
