Please cut and paste the commands you invoked and the errors you got into your question, and format it properly. Other people with the same problems as yours cannot search a link to a picture on a remote site that may go away at any time and we can't copy content from an image.

However you say you ran the command:

mingw32-make.exe makefile

that is wrong. Make doesn't accept the name of a makefile as an argument, it accepts the name of a target you want to build. So this command is telling make, "please be sure the file makefile is up to date". Since it is, you get the informative message ( not an error.) telling you that.

You should just run:

mingw32-make.exe

and you may or may not get a different problem.
