Smagul,

Please address all Cygwin questions and problem reports to the main Cygwin
mailing list (at <cygwin at cygwin dot com>).  This way, not only will you
get access to more expertise than any one person can provide, but your
questions and answers to them will also get archived on the web for others
to see.

For your convenience, I've redirected this reply to the list, and set
Reply-To accordingly -- please make sure your mailer respects it.

Not quite.  The "make" command (or the /bin/make executable) isn't there
because the "make" package (that contains the /bin/make executable) isn't
installed by default.

Cygwin packages should be installed using the Cygwin setup tool (go to
<http://cygwin.com/> and follow the "Install or update now! (using
setup.exe)" link -- the one with the black-and-green Cygwin icon).  Once
you're running setup, open the Devel category and select the "make"
package.  All the packages that are required for make to run will be
selected automatically, but you may want to select some other development
packages that you'll probably need, such as "gcc".

Again, you'll need to select it using the setup tool.  Predictably, it's
in the "Editors" category.  You can select both "make" and "vim" during
the same setup run.

HTH,
