Dear Sir/Madam, Let me preface by saying this is my first venture into the GNU realm. I am using MS Windows Vista, and while I'm trying to be a big kid, I may need someone to hold my hand as I cross the street.
Ultimately, I would like to use GNU Octave with GNUPlot, and from what I have read thus far, I need to install GNU make be able to do that. I have downloaded and unpacked GNU make-3.81. Upon reading the README and INSTALL files, I believe I am supposed to 'cd' to the directory containing the source code, then proceed with: .\configure .\sh build.sh (since this is my first 'make' program) .\make check .\make install .\make clean However, when I try to use '.\configure', I get the following error: | C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\Desktop\Desktop\make-3.81>.\configure | Configuring MAKE for DJGPP | 'update' is not recognized as an internal or external command, | operable program or batch file. | The Vdm Redirector is already loaded | No Make program found--use DOSBUILD.BAT to build Make. So then I ran '.\dosbuild' and got the following response: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% C:\Users\Jeff\DOCUME~1\Desktop\Desktop\make-3.81>.\dosbuild Building Make for MSDOS C:\Users\Jeff\DOCUME~1\Desktop\Desktop\make-3.81>gcc -c -I. -I./glob -DHAVE_CON FIG_H -O2 -g commands.c -o commands.o 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

After downloading it and reading some of the material, I was disheartened to find that having a working copy of GNU make, among other things, is a prerequisite for installing GCC. So I'm stuck. Can you help me? Sincerely, Jeff Freeman Aerospace Engineering // Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo [email protected]
