Suggest add to winget #2

zchrissirhcz commented 4 months ago

Winget currently provides some development packages such as:

# CMake
winget install Kitware.CMake

# Neovim
winget install Neovim.Neovim

# Ninja-build
winget install Ninja-build.Ninja

# Notepad++
winget install Notepad++.Notepad++

I wonder if this MakeForWindows can be downloaded from winget someday, e.g.

winget install MakeForWindows.Make

Winget does actually already provide an old version of Make (3.81) at the time of writing this, see https://winget.run/pkg/GnuWin32/Make.

I created this repo mainly because I needed a newer version than was available there. I think trying to add this current version to Winget is not a bad idea, but currently I don't have much time to look into this topic myself.
