Hey, wondering where I can get 'make' and stuff for windows?
Just want that stuff, thanks!

No. 'make' is a unix based program.

Now the 'stuff' you could likely get. Though that's dependant on wether you want 'that stuff', 'this stuff' or some other 'stuff' ;-)

bah, you need 'make' to compile most servers ect. I don't want cygwin, I don't have room for the whole cygwin deal, just want the unix based command for windows, and the 'stuff' related to it

Actually you don't NEED 'make' it just makes things easier. What you NEED is a compiler. i.e. gcc (also unix based), MSVC++, Borland C, ect. And you don't NEED a unix based system to compile any server. All the mud servers could be ported to and from unix given the time and knowledge. C is VERY portable. If you want 'make' you NEED Cygwin. End of Story.
