You can also create a symlink from "make" to "mingwmake", or copying and changing the name of the file. I would not recommend the options before, they will work until you do changes on the minGW. One solution that may helpful if you want to use the command line emulator cmder. You can install the package installer chocately. First we install chocately in windows command prompt using the following line:.
After chocolatey is installed the choco command can be used to install make. The following line should be added:. Installation from GnuWin32 or via winget are good and easy options. But I only found make 3. This version lacks the very important option -O , which handles the output correctly when compiling multithreaded. So one could expect recent versions there.
But there is also the option of self compiling. And if you have to install make , which is used for compiling, this should be a valid option. As others have noted: This manual installation might cause conflicts if you have various make versions installed by other programs as well.

However, make also works if you do not specify any target on the command line, saving you a little typing; in such a case, it defaults to the first target defined in the Makefile.
When the make command is executed, it looks for a file named makefile or Makefile in the current directory. It parses the found Makefile , and constructs a dependency tree. Based on the desired make target specified or implied on the command-line, make checks if the dependency files of that target exist.
And for filename targets — explained below if they exist, whether they are newer than the target itself, by comparing file timestamps. Before executing the action commands corresponding to the desired target, its dependencies must be met; when they are not met, the targets corresponding to the unmet dependencies are executed before the given make target, to supply the missing dependencies.
When a target is a filename, make compares the timestamps of the target file and its dependency files. It thus winds up recursively checking all the way down the dependency tree, to the source code files, to see if any of the files in the dependency tree are newer than their target filenames. When make finally returns from its recursive checking of the tree, it completes the final comparison for the desired make target.
If the dependency files are newer than the target which is usually the case , it runs the command s for the desired make target. This process is how make saves time, by executing only commands that need to be executed, based on which of the source files listed as dependencies have been updated, and have a newer timestamp than their target.
Therefore, such a target is always executed, if specified or implied on the command line. For the execution of each target, make prints the actions while executing them.
Note that each of the actions shell commands written on a line are executed in a separate sub-shell. If an action changes the shell environment, such a change is restricted to the sub-shell for that action line only.
In the project directory, we run the following command:. When we ran make without specifying a target on the command line, it defaulted to the first target in our Makefile — that is, the target all. Since these files do not exist on our first run of make for this project, make notes that it must execute the targets main. These targets, in turn, produce the main. Finally, make executes the command for the target all. If we immediately run make again, without changing any of the source files, we will see that only the command for the target all is executed:.
Though make checked the dependency tree, neither of the dependency targets module. Therefore, make rightly did not execute the commands for the dependency targets. Now, we update module.
We then run make again:. It then runs the action for the all target. We can explicitly invoke the clean target to clean up all the generated.
If you want to avoid leaving headers behind you can do things in the following order. The steps must be done in this order. Not moving the directory before install will result in an unusable mixture of header files from both libraries, but configuring, building, and checking the library requires the ability to compile and run programs against the old library.
If you do this, you will need to restore any headers from libraries other than the GNU C Library yourself after installing the library. The value of this variable is prepended to all the paths for installation. If you ever need to change some value all over the script, you just need to change that in one place to reflect the change everywhere if you are using variable. In our example we used gcc as the compiler, but we may need to change the compiler to something else.
So, we can keep the compiler name in a variable. Also, we can keep the compiler flags in another variable to reuse that. We often may need to clean our environment. If we want every piece of our project to be rebuilt from scratch, we need to clean it.
In our simple example the only file that is generated is the hello executable. Without deleting that manually, we can delete that with make.
So, we can create a rule for that and name the target as clean. The shell command in the clean target is just the age old shell command rm. Now, from the command line execute:. In our simple hello world compilation example we have a problem that we have not solved yet.
So, if you change any of those two files, they will be recompiled. But, if you change hellofun. Again, we have skipped an intermediate level. We did not generate the object files and directly generated the executable. But, behind the scene the object files are created in a temporary directory and deleted.
We want to generate the object files before building the executable. This time we are naming the main target as all. Run the make command again to see if your program builds successfully or not.
