I am running a very slow computer and find that often I make a small change to one file and need to 'make' again to redo it, and it goes through the whole part with all the .o files and the chmod thing, is there any way I can 'make' (in Cygwin) and have it only redo that file? Or to specify which file for it to make if I have updated a few files and only want to make one?

It should only compile the file you have changed. The final step, involving all the .o files is linking, which has to be done, because this combines them all into one executable.

You can't get away from that step.
