Any host system which doesn't have GNU make available as the default make facility may have it installed as 'gmake'. GNU make (gmake) is generally available an installation package for all current operating systems which have a package installation system. + #### Windows Compiling on windows is supported with recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio (Standard or Express) and using GCC via the MinGW environment.
