I'm following the instructions of someone whose repository I cloned to my machine. What I want is simple: to be able to use the make
command as part of setting up the code environment. But I'm using Windows, and I searched online only to find a make.exe file to download, a make-4.1.tar.gz
file to download (I don't know what to do with it next), and things about downloading MinGW (for GNU; but after installing it I didn't find any mention of "make").
I don't want a GNU compiler or related stuff; I only want to use "make" in Windows. Please tell me what I should do to accomplish that.
Thanks in advance!
Download make.exe from their official site GnuWin32
In the Download session, click Complete package, except sources.
Follow the installation instructions.
Once finished, add the
<installation directory>/bin/
to the PATH variable.Now you will be able to use make in cmd.
