How to use 'gmake install' on Windows?

I downloaded a matlab code from on my Windows 7 64 bit, using R2010a

http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/vision/grouping/segbench/code/segbench.tar.gz

It says

(2) Run 'gmake install' from this directory to build everything. You should then probably put the lib/matlab directory in your MATLAB path.

How can I do this on Windows? I have Cygwin but apperantly it doesnt have it. Can't I run this code on Windows? I don't get it. Can someone please help me?

MSYS is a native port of make,gcc and other *NIX GNU utilities for Windows. Try installing MSYS and running make from there.

Unfortunately, the MSYS documentation is not always super clear or always up to date. Download the install from the SourceForge page.

Note also that when you run make install it usually means you are actually running a makefile to compile source code (often C). This means that, if the C code relies on libraries or dependencies that you don't have on Windows, you may be out of luck anyway. Hopefully this isn't the case for you.

Good luck.
