But IME the best solution for this is not to put anything under "Program Files" (or more generally anywhere on the C: drive): those directories are watched by several OS mechanisms designed to prevent corruption, and usually have special access control rights. Programs installed by the user are better off if they steer away of those places. My suggestion -- and what I personally use for many years -- is to create a Posix-like tree in D:\usr, and install all programs like Make there, adding D:\usr\bin to your PATH. This allows to solve easily the problem discussed here and many others as well. HTH
similar solution is implemented by Cygwin (Posix on Windows ambient) Installation are C:\cygwin64\ or D:\cygwin64\ with the usual structure starting there $ ls -1 / bin cygdrive dev etc home lib proc sbin srv tmp usr var
