BASH: make: command not found

I receive this error when I type make.

I'm assuming this is a Cygwin problem. Perhaps I didn't download all the necessary bits and pieces. I used the default settings for the download. I'm going to re-download it and this time select everything.

If this is not the problem, can someone enlighten me?

Thanks...

Well, if you're using bash, your on linux or unix, so
maybe you don't have "make"?? try typing "which make"
or look in the /usr/ directory.

If that's the case (that you dont have make, maybe
because it was never installed on your system), go to
www.gnu.org, click on GNU software, and download
"make" or "gmake". There should be a binary for your
system. Put it in your path, and try again.

The previous thread in this forum was about the same thing. You not only want 'make', you also want 'gcc'.
