Re: [Mingw-users] MSYS/make & mingw/mingw32-make

[Luke D. <cod...@ho...>]

This was just answered in another question:

"It's because the MSYS version of make works best.  The mingw32-make
version isn't msys-1.0.dll dependent.  If you're not using MSYS then you
may copy mingw32-make.exe to make.exe.  If you're using MSYS then this
isn't advisable.

The MSYS make.exe is part of the MSYS installer package, and the
mingw32-make.exe is available in a "make-3.79.1-20010722" package by itself
on the SourceForge files page, and presumably you got it as part of the
Mingw-2.0.0 installer.
