For reference, here is a list of which builds of GNU make are known
to work or not, and whether they work in the presence and/or absence
of sh.exe, the Cygwin port of Bash.
of sh.exe, the Cygwin port of Bash. Note that any version of make
that is compiled with Cygwin will only work with Cygwin tools, due to
the use of cygwin style paths. This means Cygwin make is unsuitable
for building parts of Emacs that need to invoke Emacs itself (leim and
"make bootstrap", for example). Also see the Trouble-shooting section
below if you decide to go ahead and use Cygwin make.
sh exists no sh
cygwin b20.1 make (3.75): okay[1] fails[2]
cygwin b20.1 make (3.75): fails[1, 5] fails[2, 5]
MSVC compiled gmake 3.77: okay okay
MSVC compiled gmake 3.78.1: okay okay
MSVC compiled gmake 3.79.1: okay okay
mingw32/gcc-2.92.2 make (3.77): okay okay[4]
cygwin compiled gmake 3.77: okay[1] fails[2]
cygwin compiled make 3.78.1: okay fails[2]
cygwin compiled make 3.79.1: couldn't build make[3]

cygwin compiled make 3.79.1: fails[3, 5] fails[2?, 5]
mingw32 compiled make 3.79.1: okay okay
Notes:
[1] doesn't cope with makefiles with DOS line endings, so must mount
emacs source with text!=binary.
[2] fails when needs to invoke shell commands; okay invoking gcc etc.
[3] requires LC_MESSAGES support to build; maybe 2.95.x update to
cygwin provides this?
[3] requires LC_MESSAGES support to build; cannot build with early
versions of cygwin.
[4] may fail on Windows 9X and Windows ME; if so, install Bash.
[5] fails when building leim due to the use of cygwin style paths.
May work if building emacs without leim.
