    You'll need to use Cygwin setup.exe to install `make`, `gcc`, `gmp`, `libgmp-devel`, `ncurses`, `libncurses-devel`, `libdb`, `libdb-devel` possibly others in the development group. – Brian Tiffin Feb 15 '16 at 16:20
  • I have no clue how the comment and answer got to "cygwin", but if this answer helped, then please mark it as answer. If you're outside of cygwin there's commonly a meta-package "build-essentials" which can be installed to add all important parts (having a compiler but not a linker _is_ quite seldom...),. – Simon Sobisch Jan 13 '23 at 06:56

Moving a comment to an answer, for completeness.

You'll need to use Cygwin setup.exe to install binutils, make, gcc, gmp, libgmp-devel, ncurses, libncurses-devel, libdb, libdb-devel, possibly others in the development package group.
