Compling a makefile on an Octave MXE installation (Windows)?

[ET3D]

I installed Octave MXE 3.8.2 on Windows 7, and ran some Matlab code using it.
I even managed to use 'mex' from the command window to compile some c code
and run it.

The problem comes when I want to compile something bigger, in this case
VLFeat. There's a makefile for Octave, but I have no idea how to use it. I
may be able to compile it with nmake and Visual Studio, but I assume that
the resulting files won't work with the mingw version that Octave MXE uses.
(If they will, then great, let me know.)

I assume that the mex command uses some compiler that's available in the
package, and potentially could be used with 'make', but there's no 'make'
within the Octave command window. So how do I compile?

Thanks!
