You are correct. It turns out that placing the Gnu win32 make " C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\" in the path causes the MSVC vcvars startup script to fail (probably due to DLL conflicts), and so I arrived at the solution of adding a doskey definition to the dos startup script as follows. My problems occurred due to not setting this dos key correctly, to pass parameters, on the first attempt. The dos key works differently compared to similar functionality in UNIX shells. Somehow without passing parameters I ended up building the install target when typing "make clean", which was an unexpected (i.e. confusing) outcome.

doskey make="C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\make.exe" $1 $2 $3
