[Msys2-users] install make?

[Stephen L. <ste...@st...>]

I'm just getting started with msys2 and mingw64.

I've unpacked msys2-base-x86_64-20140216.tar.xz to c:/MinGW64, creating
c:/MinGW64/msys64/bin etc.

I'm running c:/MinGW64/msys64/bin/bash.exe, with c:/MinGW64/msys64/bin
first in PATH.

I'm trying to install Gnu 'make'. I find it with pacman:

$ pacman -S -s make

This shows, among other things:

mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-make 4.0.2289.432cb65-1 (mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain)
    GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs

So I try to install it:

$ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-make

But 'make' is still not there:

$ type make

What am I missing?
