in reply to Windows 7 Nmake

nicol004@uwp.edu:

Sigh ... I'm surprised that nothing I originally mentioned seems to have a 64 bit version. The MKS toolkit appears to support 64-bit according to the wikipedia article. But I'm guessing (without checking) that Windows Services for Unix Version 3.5, GnuWin32 and Gnu utilities for Win32 don't support 64 bits.

I think you can get nmake as part of the express versions of the Microsoft development environments. But I generally just install the Cygwin tools on every windows computer I use, and then I have make, gcc, perl, etc. I've not used any of the other toolsets, but there are other versions that are freely available.

Update: cdarke investigated further and found that my original reply was bogus, so I dug up the URLs for the others I remembered, and edited accordingly.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

    But it appears not 64-bit. From Cygwin FAQ:
    Cygwin can be expected to run on all modern 32 bit versions of Windows, except Windows CE and Windows 95/98/Me. This includes, as of the time of writing this, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, as well as the WOW64 32 bit environment on released 64 bit versions of Windows (XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/2008 R2). As far as we know no one is working on a native 64 bit version of Cygwin.

    Update: "part of the express versions of the Microsoft development environments". Those don't currently support 64-bit either.
