win32 compilation of make 4.0 source code

[Mark Brown]

I was able to compile the make 4.0 source code downloaded from the

gnu make site using Visual C++ 2005 under Windows 7 64 (generated 0 errors, 259 warnings)

but executing the resulting make command file from the Windows 7 DOS Command Prompt

yields a series of warnings/errors:

======================================================

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname, ...) failed.
make:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname -a, ...) failed.
make:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, cygpath C:\zzz_13.12.1_general\tools, ...) failed.
make:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, pwd, ...) failed.
=====================================================

 

Is the resulting file supposed to executed under Cygwin ?
