Can you bring bmake to Windows? #417

I tried to compile it under MSYS2 (MSYS POSIX Environment) but I failed. The binary is created. But the tests failed.

It could live in busybox-w32 as bmake, so there will be no conflict with the default pdpmake.

Sorry, I have no plan to do that.

It's useless!

If the programs use non-standard feature of make is only their issue and their task to fix it. Just because developers like to use non-standard make features, it doesn't make a POSIX make any less useful.
