Windows’a MinGW-w64 ve Make Kurulumu

1. Installing GNU Make

#

Although mingw32-make.exe comes with some MinGW packages, it may not work seamlessly as make. For consistency, install the actual make.exe.

1.1 Download Make

#

• Official GNU Make Windows binaries: https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
• Alternatively, use Chocolatey or Scoop:

choco install make

or

scoop install make

1.2 Set Up Make Files

#

1. Extract GNU Make to a directory like C:\make.

2. Add this path to your system Path:

   C:\make\bin
   

3. Open Terminal or CMD and run:

make --version

If you see something like:

GNU Make 4.3

Then Make was installed successfully.

2. Makefile Usage (Test Example)

#

Let’s test if everything works by compiling a simple C program using a Makefile.

2.1 Sample Files

#

File: hello.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello, MinGW!\n");
    return 0;
}

File: Makefile

CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall

all: hello.exe

hello.exe: hello.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o hello.exe hello.c

clean:
	rm -f hello.exe

2.2 Run Make

#

Open CMD or PowerShell, navigate to the folder:

cd C:\Users\kerim\mingw_test
make

Expected output:

gcc -Wall -o hello.exe hello.c

Run the program:

hello.exe

Expected result:

Hello, MinGW!

3. (Optional) Using MSYS2 for Easier MinGW Management

#

Alternatively, you can use MSYS2, which includes MinGW-w64 and a package manager (pacman).

3.1 Install MSYS2

#

• Official website: https://www.msys2.org/
• After installation, open the MSYS2 terminal and run:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make

• To run make with MSYS2:

mingw32-make

• To compile manually:

gcc hello.c -o hello.exe

✅ Conclusion

#

You can now run Makefiles on Windows using MinGW-w64 and GNU Make! 🎯

With this guide, you have:

• ✅ Installed 64-bit GCC (MinGW-w64)
• ✅ Installed GNU Make
• ✅ Successfully tested Makefile execution
