People who know about running make on Windows systems will be more
likely to be found on the address@hidden mailing list, rather than
here.

If you're not using Cygwin then you don't have the UNIX shell tools like
mkdir, etc.  It looks to me like the Windows version of "mkdir" doesn't
understand that command line; maybe it doesn't accept the "-p" flag?
