 I have looked at the output carefully...
 Obviously, you are trying to execute Makefile written for UNIX systems, are 
you ? This makefile relies on UNIX shell commands like uname, pwd, basename, 
etc. Right ?
 In order to run this Makefile, you need Cygwin or MinGW32 environment. Native 
Windows version of Make executes commands via cmd.exe, which of course does not 
understand commonly used UNIX stuff. Well, some commands are emulated by Make 
itself in such a case, but only a very small number.
