Using make with msysgit

I'm using msysg开发者_Python百科it on Windows 7, but it doesn't seem to come with make. Is there an easy way to get make running on msysgit?

I found a link to make.exe in the msysgit Google code issues section. I downloaded it and put it in Git\bin and it works perfectly.

Suprisingly, by using MSYS itself, or MinGW if you need the GCC compiler - see http://www.mingw.org or better http://tdragon.net/recentgcc.

did you try the netinstall ?
It does come with make.

I'm going to guess that the msys.bat and initialize.sh step still needed to be performed.

The 'Full installer' isn't. It only gets you a minimum, and you then have to get it to do the remaining download - see MSysGit:InstallMSysGit. I just updated the wiki to highlight the steps I'd missed!

The Net Installer is a much better option as it is able to run through almost all the steps for you, downloading and compiling the latest version automatically. Once you have done so, have a look for the various release.sh files.

It can be a nervous first step choosing the right course of action - I'm only a few steps ahead, and still cautious.
