You should first note that Windows-specific issues are best discussed on the [email protected] mailing list: Windows-knowledgeable people hang out there. Second, the file you have is a compressed tar file containing the source code for GNU make. You'll need to unpack it (see if you can find a copy of GNU tar for Windows with Google or similar if your current archiving tool doesn't recognize the format), then compile it with your local C compiler. More information is available in the README.W32 file in the tar file; you can read this once you unpack it. There are also a few places on the net where you can get pre-built versions, but you'll need to ask about this on the [email protected] mailing list. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
