Android's NDK requires both Cygwin and GNU Make. Since I already have the latest & greatest Cygwin installed, I thought that GNU Make must have already been included in it, as Cygwin is pretty developer-oriented.
But I couldn't find any, neither in my local installation, nor in the list of packages, which makes me very curious to understand why, of all GNU packages, this is the one Cygwin chose not to include.
Or perhaps such Cygwin version of GNU make exists and I just couldn't find it?
If so, where/how do I download it?

Cygwin is a collection of GNU and Open Source tools that provide a Linux-like environment for Windows: using it we can install and use llvm (which includes the GCC compilers), Clang (which includes Clang compilers), GDB (a debugger used by both compilers), and make/cmake (tools that which we use to specify how to build ...
As of the creation of this article: Red Hat Cygwin is supported on all 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows since 2003 Server. Cygwin is available as both a 32- and 64-bit platform supporting 32 on 32-bit, 32 on 64-bit, and 64 on 64-bit installations.
To find the version of the Cygwin DLL installed, you can use uname -r as you would for a Unix kernel. As the Cygwin DLL takes the place of a Unix kernel, you can also use the Unix compatible command: head /proc/version , or the Cygwin specific command: cygcheck -V .
Cygwin consists of two parts: a dynamic-link library (DLL) as an API compatibility layer in the form of a C standard library providing a substantial part of the POSIX API functionality, and an extensive collection of software tools and applications that provide a Unix-like look and feel.
The make package is GNU make
