First, make sure C:\MingGW\bin is in your path, during the build some programs will be called that reside in the the MinGW\bin directory. Also, Make has to be version 3.80 or above. [...]
I'm having this problem when I try to compile wxWidgets 2.6.3-1...
What's wrong? I've set %PATH% to hold MingW\bin ...
make version = 5.2
Make version being 5.2 is wrong, make for minGW is normally 3.79, 3.79.1, 3.80, 3.81 any other values mean you don't know how to get the value or your make is not a recent minGW make (as in last few years.)
The best way to check minGW make version
mingw32-make.exe --version
GNU Make 3.80

The common way to check minGW make version, in my case it uses my MSys make which is 3.79.1
Note: Having MSys or Cygwin installed can cause issues building wxWidgets using makefiles.
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

OK
After cd command and before mingw32-make.exe command Add
SET PATH=C:\MingGW\bin;C:\MingGW\mingw32\bin
Note: I am assigning a new short value to PATH to avoid issues with others software you have installed, this is the best way to build wxWidgets as per the C::B wiki as of the last time I read/updated it.
I am creating a wiki page to build 2.6.3
