a) what does "make" do exactly??
--------8<---------
Cutting a long story short - takes a bunch of source files discerns
which ones need (re)compilation and creates an executable accordingly.
Google for: '"what is make" gcc' for more details.

b) Windows throws an error as below. Can anyone suggest a way to
resolve this??
"C:\jenson\PERL_P~1\ext\Mytest>make
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
--------8<---------
Windows uses the command nmake as you quite rightly added below.
--------8<---------
C:\jenson\PERL_P~1\ext\Mytest>nmake
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

Perform a disk search for nmake.exe - you may have it on your hard drive
already. If you do find it add it to your path - Right click 'My
Computer', select Properties, Advanced tab, Environment Variables
button, and edit the Path string under System variables so that the Path
string also contains the path to where nmake was found. If nmake is not
found download and extract it from here

.exe. Again - make sure its in your path.
