Yes, I have just downloaded the GNU version for a check, and for me it
worked, but it's also compiled with MinGW:
"This program built for i386-pc-mingw32"

>From link: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm

As for the MinGW version: only 'mingw32-make.exe' is needed,
not the whole msys packages. It's available as a separate
download even. I'll modify the link to point there directly.

I'd like to keep variations the less possible, as it impossible
to support, test and maintain a gazillion of different options,
and it just confuses users. I've checked, and I won't add even
this new link, because I'd have to rephrase the whole thing
to make it true for all combinations, and at the end it would
be even less clear than it is now. Someone with good teaching
and writing skills could give it a go though.

I've found a 3.75 version on the first page of Google search
for "gnu make windows", plus a 3.78.1 in unxtools. Didn't test
them, but they aren't the one Miguel is trying to use. Maybe
he should post where did he get his.

Brgds,
Viktor
