https://github.com/tom-seddon/b2/blob/master/snmake.exe - standalone build of GNU Make 3.80. Has a couple of hacks in it to better support Windows-style paths with colons in it. I think this came from the SN Systems Playstation2 SDK. Thanks to the GPL, you can have it too.

(I have no idea whether this will successfully run a C compiler for you on Windows, though. I mostly use it to run Makefiles with phony targets as a cross-platform replacement for shell scripts.)

Oh no, Make 3.80...

Why not build a more recent version? This thing is 15 years old!

This sounds like something one should ask people who do not write portable makefiles, rather than porters of Make, which has been standardised for quite a while now.

They added some useful stuff in subsequent versions... my recollection (though this is going back a while now) is that even only 3.81 was a worthwhile upgrade over 3.80!

However I have better things to do than try to figure out how to build GNUstuff myself on Windows.

Good idea! Let me know when you’ve done it... I could do with an updated copy.
