GNU Make for Windows

Binaries for GNU Make built using GitHub actions. There are two versions:

• make.exe: which is patched to run commands from busybox-w32 if they're not found in PATH.
• gnumake.exe: the unpatched original.

You can grab them from the above links or the latest release.

Do It Yourself

1. Get a MinGW toolchain like w64devkit. You can also use Visual Studio apparently.
2. Get the latest tarball from a gnu.org mirror, clone the original repo, or clone this one (and submodules)
3. [unnecessary with the tarball] Run bootstrap.bat which requires sed and curl.
4. [optional] Apply the busybox patch with patch -p1 -i busybox-w32.patch
5. Run build_w32.bat gcc which will produce GccRel/gnumake.exe
6. [optional] Strip debug symbols with strip --strip-unneeded -o make.exe GccRel/gnumake.exe
