Problems compiling libffi on mingw32 with GNU Make 3.82

Problems compiling libffi on mingw32 with GNU Make 3.82

[ChristophK]

Hi,

I'm trying to build libffi on Windows 7 64bit using mingw32 and
GNU Make 3.82.

./configure works fine, but make doesn't - please have a look what
happens in the output of the console below.

Regards
Christoph

You must use msys make (/usr/bin/make.exe) with ./configure, not
mingw32-make.
To install msys-make, use `mingw-get install msys-make', or download
appropriate packages from sourceforge yourself and unpack them into
msys root directory.

mingw32-make is ONLY for running special makefiles that are generated
specifically for mingw32 (don't have *nix-style /-paths, don't invoke
*nix utilities, such as `cp', `rm', `install'). Such makefiles are
either crafted manually (and no one likes to maintain them, and they
go stale very fast), or made by non-autotools generators (such as CMake).
