I have installed cygwin. I have moved the hope directory to be beneath
the home directory that cygwin created for me (I presume that was the
right thing to do).
When I type make install it says
bash: make: command not found.
make is a unix program. You need it. It is almost certainly included by
default in cygwin, so this error message means there is something wrong
with your cygwin installation. The first thing I would do is search
(windows start menu) for "make" and see if there is a file called make
somewhere on your computer (probably buried somewhere in the cygwin
folder). If you have it, then maybe there is some environment variable
that you need to set in order to use it. There should be some sort of
installation instructions that came with cygwin that would help you
through this issue.

The Cygwin installer provides a multitude of options for what you want
to install. I don't remember whether "make" is included by default.
You may have to go through the menus in the installer to be sure that
you install "make" and whatever else you need. There doesn't seem to
be an easy way to tell it to install everything.
See
www.cygwin.com for a pointer to the mailing list where this is
topical.
