Make enables the end user to build and install your package without knowing the details of how that is done - because these details are recorded in the makefile that you supply. Make figures out automatically which files it needs to update, based on which source files have changed.

I am trying to install GNU make-3.82 on Windows 7. I downloaded the make-3.82.tar.gz setup but it does not have any setup file.
There is process given on GNU site. But when I reach to the folder in command prompt and after extraction write ./configure it throws error
is not recognized as internal or an external command, operable program or batch file.
The installation procedure is given below but not able to understand how to make it. please help

Don't bother doing that. Just install MinGW, specifically MSYS.

You can find a standalone
make.exe
on this page:- Standalone executable, no DLL dependency.
- Up-to-date (contrarily to the build by GnuWin project, which seems abandoned).
- A 64-bit build is even offered.
Full credits go to the people of equation.com. Thanks to them :-)
