Nope.  Microsoft make is called "nmake.exe", not "make.exe".  The errors 
are coming from cl, the Visual C++ compiler.

The only reason this isn't off-topic is that the same makefile is being 
run by Cygwin make in both cases, according to the OP.  He may be wrong, 
but I think it's got to be something a bit stranger than a simple typo 
in the command.

It's on-topic if the problem is happening via Cygwin make in both cases. 
 The OP should go the extra mile to make sure that that is in fact the 
case.
