Answer 1

If you have cygwin running, terminate it. Download the setup-x86_64.exe utility from the cygwin site (https://www.cygwin.com/). Run the utility and continue by clicking "Next" until you get to the window where you can select packages.

Type into the search panel the word "make". This works like a filter that leaves only packages related to make functionality. In category "Devel" select "make: the GNU version of 'make' utility". That is.

Answer 2

You have to install the make command.

Run the Cygwin installation/configuration program, setup-x86_64.exe or setup-x86.exe (you should already have it, downloaded from here). When you get to the screen that lets you select packages to install, find make and select it (it's probably under "Development" or something similar).

Then you'll be able to run make from the Cygwin bash command line.
