configure jdk new build on win 7 enterprise

[Frost, Gary]

So is the gmake file (under Perl) really gnu make?

Have you downloaded the cygwin make package.  My guess is the binary under
perl/c is not really make.  Maybe they want you to rename gnu make to
gmake so that it is picked up instead of microsofts own make.

From 
http://cygwin.com/packages/make/make-3.81-2


It sure looks like cygwins make is called make.exe not gmake.exeŠ.

Confusing.
