Getting error when trying to run make on a github repo windows 10

When I try to compile this program, I get the following error, and I cannot find out how to resolve it.. I tried make -DCC=gcc I got this from another post when I tried googling the problem, but didn't help instead it gives me another error message

PS \massdns> make
mkdir -p bin
cc  -O3 -std=c11 -DHAVE_EPOLL -DHAVE_SYSINFO -Wall -fstack-protector-strong main.c -o bin/massdns
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, cc -O3 -std=c11 -DHAVE_EPOLL -DHAVE_SYSINFO -Wall -fstack-protector-strong main.c -o bin/massdns, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [Makefile:5: all] Error 2

Error message from make -DCC=gcc

PS massdns> make -DCC=gcc
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\make\tools\install\bin\make (pid = 4284)
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\make\tools\install\bin\make is suspending for 30 seconds...done sleep(30). Continuing.
make: *** C=gcc: No such file or directory.  Stop.

Been trying to solve this for awhile so if anyone could help, it would be greatly appertained

Repo says to install this, do this

Clone the git repository and cd into the project root folder. Then run make to build from source. If you are not on Linux, run make nolinux. On Windows, the Cygwin packages gcc-core, git and make are required.

Edit: I did try the make nolinux command just forgot I did because i've been trying to do this for awhile, it's the same output, heres the output

PS massdns> make nolinux
mkdir -p bin
cc  -O3 -std=c11 -Wall -fstack-protector-strong main.c -o bin/massdns
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, cc -O3 -std=c11 -Wall -fstack-protector-strong main.c -o bin/massdns, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [Makefile:11: nolinux] Error 2

Problem solved, of course a user error.

Wasn't familiar with how you installed the packages, gcc-core, git via the Cygwin installer as it's a very unique interaction I haven't seen on an installer. I also had to do git clone repo_url inside the Cygwin terminal and also had to run make directory inside the Cygwin Terminal asweell.
