building openjdk for windows ,freetype

[Sandeep Konchady]

Rishi,

    What ever "make" command exists in <Your cygwin install dir>\bin is 
the gnumake. If it is not named so, you can change your config file to 
use that make. This is not MKS specific and you should be able to do all 
the builds with cygwin (except for VC compiler/linker and other binary 
plus of course).

Thanks,
Sandeep
