MINGW64 "make build" error: "bash: make: command not found"

Solution 1:

  • Go to ezwinports, https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/

  • Download make-4.2.1-without-guile-w32-bin.zip (get the version without guile)

  • Extract zip
  • Copy the contents to C:\ProgramFiles\Git\mingw64\ merging the folders, but do NOT overwrite/replace any exisiting files.

Solution 2:

You can also use Chocolatey.

Having it installed, just run:

choco install make

When it finishes, it is installed and available in Git for Bash / MinGW.

Solution 3:

You have to install mingw-get and after that you can run mingw-get install msys-make to have the command make available.
