It does not appear to be possible to call Windows system commands (e.g. del, move, etc) using GNU Make.
When the following rule is run, an error is reported del: command not found:
clean:
del *.o
This is presumably because there is no such execuatable as "del". I've also tried running it as an option to cmd but with this only seems to open a new prompt:
clean:
cmd /C del *.o
I'm using GNU Make 3.79.1 that is bundled as part of MSys.
