Make for Windows

Make: GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs

Version

Description

Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program’s source files. Make gets its knowledge of how to build your program from a file called the makefile, which lists each of the non-source files and how to compute it from other files. When you write a program, you should write a makefile for it, so that it is possible to use Make to build and install the program.

Capabilities of Make

• Make enables the end user to build and install your package without knowing the details of how that is done — because these details are recorded in the makefile that you supply.
• Make figures out automatically which files it needs to update, based on which source files have changed. It also automatically determines the proper order for updating files, in case one non-source file depends on another non-source file. As a result, if you change a few source files and then run Make, it does not need to recompile all of your program. It updates only those non-source files that depend directly or indirectly on the source files that you changed.
• Make is not limited to any particular language. For each non-source file in the program, the makefile specifies the shell commands to compute it. These shell commands can run a compiler to produce an object file, the linker to produce an executable, ar to update a library, or TeX or Makeinfo to format documentation.
• Make is not limited to building a package. You can also use Make to control installing or deinstalling a package, generate tags tables for it, or anything else you want to do often enough to make it worth while writing down how to do it.

Download

If you download the Setup program of the package, any requirements for running applications, such as dynamic link libraries (DLL’s) from the dependencies as listed below under Requirements, are already included. If you download the package as Zip files, then you must download and install the dependencies zip file yourself. Developer files (header files and libraries) from other packages are however not included; so if you wish to develop your own applications, you must separately install the required packages.

I’m on Windows 10

@rubenmedios you can try downloading the Make executable from http://www.mingw.org/. Though I remember that it’s not very straight forward.

How did you get your bash environment?

jandecaluwe commented Jun 6, 2016 •

@rubenmedios make is an external task automation tool that has basically nothing to do with urubu . Of course, many people on Linux/Unix like to use it because that’s were it comes from.

I have close to zero experience with Windows. However, on one occasion I had to install urubu for a customer and I got it to work, including the make utitlity. So it should be possible to set this up. Otherwise, just use the urubu commands natively, as described in the manual.

@rubenmedios could you specify more details on the problem — if it is still active?

basic info would be:
WHY do you want to use make (and not cmake or qmake)
HOW does your environment look like
do you use a integrated development environment (IDE) for your project ((if not look at PyCharm CE))

on windows you can use mingw32-make.exe — if you installed the compiler and add the path to your environment variable PATH

to check it:

• open the execute dialog (win+R)
• open a command prompt by entering cmd.exe (plus enter)
• write «set PATH» without the apostrophe
  OR use rapid environment editor to look at the PATH variable.

Sorry if this is too low level — but from your question I assumed that you did not know it.
Feel free to ask for more advice.

If it is only to generate binary files, I use:

I’m running bash (Version 4.4.12(3)-release (x86_64-cygwin) on Windows 10.
When i ran the ‘make’ command i received the bash: make: command not found

I searched in my mingw program files for the (make) executable. C. \MinGW\bin\make.exe
I then added the make executable directory location as one of my PATH environments
Restart bash and make was able to work.

Just add environment variable

C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin

Follow the step:

Step 1 — Install Mingw, through the MinGW installer.
Step 2 — Open Command Prompt, Try to type mingw-get, if this command is working then follow the next step otherwise go to step one and install it properly.
Step 3 — In command prompt, type mingw-get install mingw32-make.exe, and hit enter. An appropriate make version will be installed in your computer.
Step 4 — Go to C:/MingW/bin folder and find the mingw32-make.exe file and copy it and paste it in the same folder and then rename the copied file to make.exe, That’s it. Now you are good to go. type command make in prompt to see it’s working or not.

6 ways to open the Run command window in Windows

The Run command window allows you to launch programs, open files and folders, and access internet resources in Windows. Just type a path or a quick command into the Windows Run box, and then click OK or press Enter to use a Run command. Although the Run shortcut is not as easy to find in recent Windows versions, the tool still exists, and there are plenty of ways to access it. This tutorial illustrates how to open Run in Windows 10 and Windows 7:

1. Open the Run command window with a keyboard shortcut

The fastest way to access the Run command window is to use the keyboard shortcut Windows + R. On top of being very easy to remember, this method is universal for all versions of Windows. Hold down the Windows key and then press R on your keyboard.

The Run window is immediately displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

2. Use Search to open the Run command window

As always in Windows, Search is a great idea to find just about anything. If you are using Windows 10, first type the word “run” inside the Search bar.

Then, click or tap on the relevant search result or press Open from the pane on the right.

In Windows 7, click the Start button and type the word “run” in the Start Menu Search box. Then, click the appropriate result to launch the Run command window.

3. Open the Run command window from the Start Menu

The Start Menu is a reliable way to access features on your Windows computer or device, including the Run window. In Windows 10, access the Start Menu by clicking or tapping on the Windows logo in the lower-left corner or by pressing the Windows button on your keyboard. Then, scroll down to the letter W, open the Windows System folder, and press Run.

In Windows 7, open the Start Menu and then access “All Programs -> Accessories -> Run” to launch the window.

Alternatively, you can also customize your Windows 7 Start Menu to permanently display a Run shortcut in the right-hand pane. To learn how to do that, read The complete guide to the Windows 7 Start Menu.

4. Use the Command Prompt (CMD) to open the Run window

Some of my colleagues love the CMD, so we decided to put this in for other fans, even if it’s not as easy to remember as the other ways illustrated in this article. To open the Windows Run, you can also launch the Command Prompt and enter the following:

explorer.exe Shell.

This method works both in Windows 10 and Windows 7.

5. Open the Run command window with PowerShell

Wondering how to open Run from PowerShell in Windows 10 and Windows 7? First, start PowerShell. Then, copy/paste or type in the following command:

(New-Object -ComObject “Shell.Application”).FileRun()

Press Enter on your keyboard, and the Run command window is immediately opened in the bottom-left corner.

6. Use the WinX power user menu to open the Run window in Windows 10

Windows 10 has a hidden power user menu that includes a shortcut for the Run command window. There are many ways to access this menu, the easiest being to use the Windows + X keyboard shortcut. Then, click or tap on Run or press R on your keyboard to open the Run box in Windows 10.

If the WinX power user menu interests you, you can learn more by reading: What is the WinX menu and how to open it.

What do you want to access using the Run window?

The Run command window was first introduced by Microsoft in Windows 95 and has been with us ever since. Some of us access it pretty often, but plenty of people don’t realize its potential and usefulness yet. We’re happy this feature caught your eye, but we are curious what brought you here. Are you looking for new ways to open the Windows Run command window or are you trying something new on your computer? Let us know in the comments.
