I need to work on GNU make 3.80, but cygwin has make 3.81 installed. How can I remove make 3.81 and install 3.80?
I've tried running setup.exe for cygwin and installing make 3.80, it runs fine but in terminal it shows 3.81.
make 3.80 is no longer available from the Cygwin repositories. But the better question is, why do you want such an old version?
make
instead, but in the meantime, you may be able to find this in the Cygwin Time Machine.
I found the solution, I had devkitpro installed on my pc, which was using make 3.81 version. I found it out by using which
command.
$which make
So I uninstalled devkit and reinstalled the recent make package which is 3.82 and then just replaced the make.exe
from the package I have (3.80) to the cygwin
bin folder. The method was suggested by the package supplier.
And now the make is working fine and is compatible with my project.
