I am working on Windows 10. I want to run a "make build" in MINGW64 but following error comes up:

$ make build
bash: make: command not found

I want to build Glide for Golang

I tried following:

$ sudo yum install build-essential
bash: sudo: command not found

As well as:

$ yum install build-essential
bash: yum: command not found

And:

$ apt-cyg build-essential
bash: apt-cyg: command not found

How can I "work-around" this problem?

  • Go to ezwinports, https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/

  • Download make-4.2.1-without-guile-w32-bin.zip (get the version without guile)

  • Extract zip
  • Copy the contents to C:\ProgramFiles\Git\mingw64\ merging the folders, but do NOT overwrite/replace any exisiting files.
