I see. I never use MinGW, as I don't have it installed. The Basic.mk model is only useful for systems where you can't run configure and generate a Makefile that way. For systems where configure can't be invoked it provides a makefile framework (versus a bat file) that can be used if you already have a previous GNU Make available (or once you build one once with the bat file).
