I installed cygwin with all the packages on windows 7 64 bit. For some reason the make command is giving me an error: bash make: command not found. I checked and in my bin folder, there is no make.exe. Can anyone help me on this? I really need make to work in CYGWIN. I dont wanna have to go to windows xp.
