Building Erlang projects on Windows

I'm looking for a way to build an Erlang project on Windows. I have Erlang installed and all project files, including makefile, cloned from GitHub. I would like to build the project as if I was using make command on Linux and run it. What tools can I use to do that?

If you're asking "how do I run make in Windows?" then you can use Cygwin, the newly-available Bash shell, or the MinGW tools. These will all give you some level of ability to run make, though not every makefile will work.

If you're asking "how can I build an Erlang project using a makefile?" then you are looking for erlang.mk. Note that Rebar3 (which is configured with Erlang terms and looks nothing like a make system) was recently selected as the "official" build tool, but erlang.mk is quite popular and is well-maintained.

I'd try cygwin. https://www.cygwin.com

You can either build erlang with cygwin or use gnu-make in combination with a native windows build of erlang
