How to use makefile for mingw on win32

Question

I seem to have forgotten what was typed on the command line when using the make file for a c program on a win32 machine. i remember i have to type something like

mingw32 -make

. but it does not work. ive performed all necessary actions, such as changing environment variables. any help on command?

Answer 1

Much depends on the details of your installation, but I suspect that the problem is a gap between mingw32and -make.

You want to use a command mingw32-make, not a command mingw32with an argument -make.
