Add Make install instructions for Windows to CONTRIBUTING.md #704

Closed coffeehorn closed 7 years ago

coffeehorn commented 7 years ago

As a new developer, when I try to set up my development environment following the instructions in the CONTRIBUTING.md on Windows, I get an error after trying to use the command make. The CONTRIBUTING.md file should be update that make is also a required install for windows.

Agree that this should be added, as Windows lacks make command out of the box.

Make for Windows can be found here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm We should probably have some instructions for beginners on how to properly install it and add it to PATH so it can be ran from the command-line.

I'll volunteer to add content to this

Thanks @coffeehorn. I don't have a windows machine to test this out on so your help is invaluable!
