nvm on Windows "out: No such file or directory. Stop."

Question

I've got this error when installed nvm from github and running nvm install 0.12.0 that I need to use:

C:/MinGW/bin/make -C out BUILDTYPE=Release V=1
make: *** out: No such file or directory.  Stop.
Makefile:45: recipe for target 'node' failed
make: *** [node] Error 2
nvm: install v0.12.0 failed!

I'm running this from git bash.

How to fix this error? Should I create this out directory somewhere?

I've tried to add this to nvm_install_source function in nvm.sh:

nvm_cd "${TMPDIR}" && command mkdir -p "${VERSION_PATH}/out"

also

nvm_cd "${TMPDIR}" && command mkdir -p "out"

with no effect.

I've also try to create make file like this:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir out
mingw32-make.exe $@

but then I got this error:

C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make -C out BUILDTYPE=Release V=1
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/jankiewj/.nvm/.cache/src/node-v0.12.0/files/out'
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/jankiewj/.nvm/.cache/src/node-v0.12.0/files/out'
mingw32-make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
Makefile:45: recipe for target 'node' failed
mingw32-make: *** [node] Error 2
nvm: install v0.12.0 failed!

I've fixed the issue by installing nvm-windows.
