The Free Software Foundation and GNU doesn't provide precompiled
versions of any of its software, for any platform including Windows.
You may be able to find prebuilt versions out there.  Maybe someone else
on the list will know where to look.  You might also have better luck
asking on the address@hidden list which is targeted more specifically
at Windows users of GNU make.

Of course, compiling GNU make yourself from source is not difficult; you
will probably need an installation of MinGW to get access to tar so you
can unpack the source, which you can download from here:

    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/

then read the README.W32 file for info on compiling make.

This is assuming you're looking for a native build of GNU make, and not
a cygwin build.
