where to write this:mingw32-make in cmd or cygwin console? The command is nowhere to be recognized, I added the cigwin's bin folder to path location.. – Dainius Kreivys May 09 '15 at 19:43

You should run mingw32-make instead of make.
If you want to be able to call it via make for simplicity, you might want to define an "alias" which runs mingw32-make. While I'm not very familiar with the CMD in windows, I think this should be possible with the following command:
set make=mingw32-make
However, I don't think this will be permanent. You might want to try to add a batch file make.bat in ...\mingw\bin which runs mingw32-make to achieve this. This batch file would however need to "forward" all additional arguments to mingw32-make. Maybe there are better ways to create a permanent alias, I don't know.
Maybe you also want to try the DOSKEY utility program to create a permanent alias.

Here's what I do to make a permanent alias: `copy mingw32-make.exe make.exe` in the `mingw\bin` directory. – Michael Burr Nov 05 '12 at 06:54

@MichaelBurr This is no alias. If `mingw32-make.exe` changes, `make.exe` will not. However, it hardly will change ever, I think. – leemes Nov 05 '12 at 07:37

@leemes: the comment was half joke. But, it is what I do, and I've found it to be reliable enough. – Michael Burr Nov 05 '12 at 22:11
