Compiling GNU make
I have downloaded the source for GNU make and am trying to compile it on a Win32 machine, using MVC++ 6.0. However, I get huge numbers of errors and warnings. I am using the provided ''build_w32.bat'' file. Does anyone have any advice on this?
I just use cygwin instead. My understanding is that GNU make depends on being run from a *nix style shell (bash, etc.) so even if you did get it to compile, it wouldn't run very well anyways.

You''ll find that almost all GNU / OSS projects that have source code for Win32 will require cygwin. There''s just too many library dependencies and most who do put out a Win32 Makefile just assume you have cygwin.

Last time I checked, cygwin had the ash, bash, pdksh, tcsh and zsh shells. I personally haven''t had any troubles with the bash shell.
