I get an error when compiling Emacs 21.3 on Windows 2000, using
Mingw's gcc.exe and mingw32-make.exe (renamed to make.exe):
"./../bin/emacs.exe" -batch --no-init-file --no-site-file --multibyte
-l autoloa
d \
--eval "(setq find-file-hook nil \
find-file-suppress-same-file-warnings t \
generated-autoload-file \
\"C:/home/emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el\")" \
-f batch-update-autoloads "C:/home/emacs/lisp"
Wrote c:/home/emacs/lisp/C;c:home.macslisploaddefs.el
Loading vc-cvs (source)...
Wrote c:/home/emacs/lisp/C;c:home?macslisploaddefs.el
Autoloads file c:/home/emacs/lisp/C;c:home.macslisploaddefs.el does
not exist
make: *** [all] Error -1
The problem seems to be that either emacs.exe or cmd (the Windows
command shell) munges the ":" character, even when it is enclosed by
quotation marks. If I edit the Makefile by hand to eliminate the
colon, i.e.,
\"./loaddefs.el\")" \
then the compilation succeeds. However, I haven't figured out whether
this is a bug in the Makefile or my system setup. The problem also
exists for the current CVS sources.
Anyone seen this before? Thanks.

I'd rather guess that the problem is either with the ported Make you
are using or with some code/program somewhere that converts forward
slashes into backslashes (which are then interpreted by Emacs as
escapes).
If you have a ported Bash, and Make is using it, that also could be
the reason.
Bottom line, I'd suggest to make changes in your development tools.
The file nt/INSTALL lists the combinations of Make and shell that are
known to work; try to stick to one of those.
