first use of make

Well. I suspect that you're using the old C::B RC2 version bundled with MinGW (i've been always using nightlies and svn builds).
And the makefile you're trying to use was intended for MS nmake, so it won't work with your current environmenr.

Of course I installed RC2 and then extracted nigthlies over it. I am using the nightlies!

Ok, I just changed the line

--- Code: ---MAKE=nmake /nologo /f makefile.nt
--- End code ---
to

--- Code: ---MAKE=make /nologo /f makefile.nt
--- End code ---

Now the errors are this

--- Code: ---cd c-client
make /nologo /f makefile.nt
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/nologo'.  Stop.
make[1]: Entering directory `D:/Garage/projekte/mahogany/mahoganySVN/lib/imap'
make.exe: *** [build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `D:/Garage/projekte/mahogany/mahoganySVN/lib/imap'
Process terminated with status 2 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

--- End code ---

The target should be "build" I think and C::B does give "build" as a parameter to make because the current build-target in the project is "build".

TDragon:
The makefile itself was designed for MSVC's nmake, not GCC's make. The two have different syntax and are not inter-compatible. Read the documentation to see if you can find instructions for building with MinGW/GCC; what you're currently trying is for MSVC.

FYI: The docs are old, 2004, and they say MSVC or Cygwin GCC 2.95. It says minGW GCC is not supported. The last time I tried it I gave up, but I got close to getting it to compile, most likely it would not have worked since was was just removing the areas that was not working out.
