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.
