Win64 #199

I downloaded the master-zip and tried to run the tools in WinPE64 (no 32bit compatibility libraries) but I get 'The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present'. Any chance you'll port these for Win64? thanks.

I just posted about a speed issue with make and suggested building in x64. I'm going to fork and give it a go this weekend. Not sure if this project is being supported anymore? Binaries haven't updated in 2 years, sadly.

@entangledloops Go for it! :D Speed is never a bad thing (unless you're driving, LEL?)

Hopefully it turns out well!

Anyway, I'm really hoping this project hasn't been ditched, because I've been recommending it to every Windows user who's ever complained about portability issues with Makefiles (mainly because they don't wanna install cygwin). Finding that this project's dead would be a gash to the heart. :\

Yeah, cygwin / ming are just too heavy for small needs. And who wants to run a slow installer every time you want to add a new src/binary?

Alhadis commented 8 years ago

True. But I also use Make heavily in web development (because the world needs another Grunt/Gulp/Gobble/Middleman plugin like it needs another Vietnam war), so it gets recommended reasonably often. =)

+1 for interesting Make use case.
