Yes, I meant MinGW shell (MSYS). It appears as "MinGW Shell" in my start

I wrote "GNU makefile" because of that:

Anyway my "MinGW Shell" is able to run that makefile and all the tests.

Agreed. Few days ago I was trying to figure this out too, and found the 
way described in my prev post. This should be posted somewhere in the 
wiki, as I figured this out only after reading the above link, after 
googling for a quite long time...
