It is not MAKE issue. You can download the GNU make from the Web and compile it with VC to get the "Windows" version of GNU make. Usually this doesn't help much by simple reason. No clever make can provide the job along. What one uses is the combination of "make" + "some shell script" at least Make is a tool to run some "shell" commands in the proper order to manage the software project. If your makefile relies on the Born-shell, TCSH etc etc then you have to make sure you have all of these shells available for all kind of platforms you are working on. So the MAIN issue is NOT about how to get the clever "make" rather where to find the good "SHELL". If you need a makefile which works on both Linux and win32 no clever make helps. You need the clever SHELL tool. By this reason myself prefers the tool which is all-in-one and can be installed for both kind of platforms. For example "Perl" scripts work well and do not rely on any external shell. See: http://www.baldmt.com/cons/
