If I had a C compiler, I wouldn't need "make". If you're setting up GCC and make on a cygwin system then you should download and install the cygwin binary distributions of GCC and make. These should be part of the original install. You can't build either GCC or make from sources without an existing, working C compiler. But you can build make from sources without make itself - use the included build.sh script (or similar). Good luck, Rup.
