Smagul, Please address all Cygwin questions and problem reports to the main Cygwin mailing list (at ). 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. > Recently I have installed Cygwin at my PC with Windows ME.

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. > If you have it, can you, please, e-mail it to me?

Cygwin packages should be installed using the Cygwin setup tool (go to 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". > As to the "vi" editor, I downloaded the vim package.

Predictably, it's in the "Editors" category. You can select both "make" and "vim" during the same setup run.
