PS> Install the cygwin tools. These supply you with a gnu development

PS>
PS> If you're interested mainly in make, just download the execute-only
PS> environment. This gives a bash shell, make, awk, gcc, g++, f77,

a good site for extras is http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/index.html
basically a fairly complete /usr/local
PS> But you can always use the
PS> basic tools to compile the other gnu tools. If you want the other
PS> gnu stuff precompiled, cygwin will sell you a CD with "everything"
PS> on it for $99.
but now it's somewhat out-of-date, and the new net release is official
PS> It sounds as if the basics will do for you.
PS>
PS> One more thing: the tools are free for non-commercial use, but
PS> you have to pay for commercial use.
only if you want to distribute executables that rely on cygwin.dll
