Error when building C++ project

I tried to build a C++ project using Cygwin. I got the following error:

make all 
Cannot run program "make": Launching failed

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

I have C:\cygwin64\bin in the PATH, which contains the file makeg. Is there meant to be some other make file, and where can I find it?

Solution

  • You need to install make.

    If you want to know how to do that see the answers to install python and make in cygwin.
