What is mingw32 make?

MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows"), formerly mingw32, is a free and open source software development environment to create Microsoft Windows applications.

What are make files?

The makefile is a text file that contains the recipe for building your program. It usually resides in the same directory as the sources, and it is usually called Makefile . Each one of these commands should be a separate rule in a makefile.

What is the difference between MinGW and MinGW-w64?

MinGW-w64 is a improved version which supports both 32bit and 64bit, and some more of the WinAPI (still not all, because thats much work, but more than MinGW). MinGW-w64 only provides their source code, but no binaries to "just use" the compiler.

mingw32-make is just a pre-built version of GNU make, so http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/ should have all of the information you need.
