You can install it from the Cygwin setup.exe install program. When you get to the "Select Packages" screen, expand the "Devel" section, find the make package, and select the version you want by clicking the weird circle/arrow thing on that line until your desired version is shown.
Then you'll be able to run make from the Cygwin bash command line. It is in the package make: The GNU version of the 'make' utility . It seems you also need to add the Cygwin bin folder to your Windows path.
Go to http://cygwin.com and click on "Install Cygwin" in the left column. This will allow you to download a setup.exe file and choose "Install from Internet." Click "Next." Choose your settings. For most users, it is fine to leave the default installation directory, which is "c:\cygwin\ and the other default settings.
In Cygwin, make is not installed by default. You need to launch Setup.Exe, select make in the Devel section, and let Setup download and install it.
Also, depending upon what you are building, you may need to install additional libraries for your build to work.
