title: Gnu make on Windows 7 64bit?
body: <p>I'm migrating from Windows-32 XP to Windows 7 64bit and have problems with my project build. Error appears on very first step - on directory creation. I tried both MinGW and MSYS makes, 32bit and 64bit. It seems that no one can't call md command. Here is very simple Makefile I created to localise problem:</p>
  
  <pre><code>all:
  md C:\_test\trunk\build\win32
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>MinGW (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/" rel="nofollow">mingw-w64's toolchains targetting Win64</a>) make:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\_tmp&gt;C:\mingw64\bin\mingw32-make.exe
  md C:\_test\trunk\build\win32
  process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, md C:\_test\trunk\build\win32, ...) failed.
  make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
  Makefile:2: recipe for target 'all' failed
  mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>MSYS (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/MSYS%20%2832-bit%29/" rel="nofollow">64bit</a>) make:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:_tmp&gt;C:\mingw64\msys\bin\make.exe
  md C:\_test\trunk\build\win32
  make.exe": md: Command not found
  make.exe": *** [all] Error 127
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is no problem with the same command run from command line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>md C:\_test\trunk\build\win32
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone please recommend any solution? Thank you.</p>
