At first look it is most likely a problem in your environment, please 
answer these questions so we can pinpoint the problem:

 * do you have any sh.exe in your MS-Windows PATH ? (run "sh --version" 
from cmd.exe)

 * what does make --version display? in cmd.exe and also in MSYS

 * Does your Makefile use any non MSYS shell commands?

 * Can you try using a native win32 sh.exe?

Please tell me the version of MSYS you are using and the "sh --version" 
within MSYS terminal.

I dropped address@hidden because I don't think we need to shadow both 
lists with a win32 environment discussion.

I'll try to help you get to the bottom the problem.

Kind regards
JG
