MinGW without MSYS (the "MinGW > Makefiles" generator) is very different than MinGW with MSYS (the "MSYS > Makefiles" generator). For the former you must use "mingw32-make" (which > appears in the MinGW PATH). For the latter you must use "make" (which appears > in > the MSYS PATH). Well, it is the make from MSYS that is acting strange. If I run it (from the MSYS shell), the start-up messages suggest is a MicroSoft make utility that is actually started and that does NOT run any make files, see the "screenshot" below:
