How to run make in windows 10

The first thing to do is to install GCC which stands for ‘GNU C Compiler’

Installation

2. Launch the installer and follow the prompts till the download inside the installer is complete.
3. Click on the ‘Basic Setup’ tab.
4. On the right side of the dialog box, tick “mingw32-gcc-g++-bin”. and select Mark for Install.
5. Then click on Installation > Apply Changes.

Editing Environment Variables

1. Go to Windows Explorer > Right click on This PC > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables.
2. At the bottom of the “System Variables” panel, you will find a Variable named “Path”. Double click on it.
3. Some systems show a good UI for adding a New Path easily (by clicking New), else you just need to add ; (Semicolon) at the end and add the path
4. Click on OK, and OK and close the other windows. Open a Command Prompt Terminal and try typing gcc --version and press Enter to confirm the installation.
