I made the project of GNU make, and used it to make pixman library. I did have to make a change to the makefile for pixman since @mkdir was creating directories named -p and release, and was inside of a loop. The problem is that I do not know makefiles, and I think the @list is causing 'list' to be executed as a DOS shell command, which it is not. And this is the same problem as I had with pixman, where mkdir IS a command with different syntax than what is specified in the makefile. One more note is that one needs to run vsvars32.bat prior to using Visual C++ from the command line.

For that makefile, I believe you will need GNU make (e.g. Cygwin's) and Microsoft's compiler. There is more information in the release notes IIRC.
