  • Thank you for the quick reply, John, but the make system has worked on previous versions of Windows (superuser.com/questions/808807/…). I agree that a virtual machine could solve the issue but I believe that would be overkill for the problem I'm having here.

  • user2048773 responded in early 2021 showing how to get it up and running on Windows 10 and Little Helper responded in late 2022 showing the solution I attempted (albeit without saying what version of Windows that was done on). I would comment to ask that user directly but my account does not have enough reputation points to do so.

  • $cat is likely an internal command of powershell. this can not be accessed by gnu make. Need get 'cat' program from elsewhere, as this seems to be used by your makefile

  • @Joakim Elofsson --- As for this: $cat is likely an internal command of powershell., this is not true, cat is an internal command alias for Get-Contnet`. Using this, $cat``` is a variable name that has to have an assigned value. You can get a list of all PS aliases by using Get-Alias -Name '*' | Out-Gridview.
