Can't execute makefile in Windows 7

1.7k views Asked by At

I'm trying to compile library https://github.com/PetterS/SuiteSparse/tree/master/CSparse with MinGW on Windows 7.

Makefile contents:

C:
    ( cd Lib ; $(MAKE) )
    ( cd Demo ; $(MAKE) )

all: C cov

library:
    ( cd Lib ; $(MAKE) )

cov:
    ( cd Tcov ; $(MAKE) )

clean:
    ( cd Lib ; $(MAKE) clean )
    ( cd Demo ; $(MAKE) clean )
    ( cd Tcov ; $(MAKE) clean )
    ( cd MATLAB/CSparse ; $(RM) *.o )
    ( cd MATLAB/Test    ; $(RM) *.o )

purge:
    ( cd Lib ; $(MAKE) purge )
    ( cd Demo ; $(MAKE) purge )
    ( cd Tcov ; $(MAKE) purge )
    ( cd MATLAB/CSparse ; $(RM) *.o *.mex* )
    ( cd MATLAB/Test    ; $(RM) *.o *.mex* )

distclean: purge

# do not install CSparse; use CXSparse instead
install:

# uninstall CSparse: do nothing
uninstall:

I'im typing in cmd.exe:

PS C:\Users\s\Desktop\CSparse> mingw32-make
( cd Lib ; C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make )
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, ( cd Lib ; C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make ), ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
Makefile:8: recipe for target 'C' failed
mingw32-make: *** [C] Error 2

My Path variable:

I have rebooted Windows already. I also tried to set path=C:\MinGW\bin in cmd.exe, but nothing have changed.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I also tried to set path=C:\mingw32\bin in cmd.exe, but nothing have changed.

As far I'm concerned, by typing this you make PATH variable contains only path "C:\mingw32\bin". Have look at this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9546345/4776786

Try this instead in CMD:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\mingw32\bin

By executing that command you add that directory to your current PATH variable.

But, in other hand, why you just don't use "My Computer" > "Properties" > "Advanced" > "Environment Variables" > "Path"? Doing this, system reboot will not interrupt your PATH.
