I am using MS Windows Vista, and while I'm trying to be a big kid, I may need someone to hold my hand as I cross the street. Ultimately, I would like to use GNU Octave with GNUPlot, and from what I have read thus far, I need to install GNU make be able to do that. I have downloaded and unpacked GNU make-3.81. Upon reading the README and INSTALL files, I believe I am supposed to 'cd' to the directory containing the source code, then proceed with: .\configure .\sh build.sh (since this is my first 'make' program) .\make check .\make install .\make clean However, when I try to use '.\configure', I get the following error: | C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\Desktop\Desktop\make-3.81>.\configure | Configuring MAKE for DJGPP | 'update' is not recognized as an internal or external command, | operable program or batch file. | The Vdm Redirector is already loaded | No Make program found--use DOSBUILD.BAT to build Make. So then I ran '.\dosbuild' and got the following response: _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
