Links within README.md's "Setting up your environment" section

[jaitjacob]

As a VISITOR, When I open [readme.md], I find trouble setting up the environment because certain links pointing to the location of required software is not up and running. Can we have an alternative for that, like a different method to set up the required environment. It should make it easy for anyone who is coming to the repository for the first time and wants to get started with the code.

Hey @jaitjacob by any chance did you set up the development env.?

For some reason I am getting this error when I run make setup are you getting any errors?

@jaitjacob Can you be a bit more specific? What links were not up and running? Where are you getting hung up?

[jaitjacob]

@rickr I was talking about the " GNUWin general installation guide" link which is used to install the Make tool for windows. The zip file required for installing "Make" within that page has been down because of some internal server error. I don't think we can fix that other than specifying an alternative for "Make" for Windows. More clarification, I am talking about the download link within this link "http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/install.html"

@hd719 Hi there, I was on my Windows PC and I had a lot of trouble with installation. I'll be switching to my Linux and trying this out. Will let you know if i face any issues. Which OS do you work upon by the way?

[hd719]

@jaitjacob So I am using a mac, but @rickr fixed the bug and it works now, just make sure you pull in the latest changes from the master branch.

[rickr]

Ok. Since this appears to be fixed I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.

Thanks for the heads up!
