I reccommend you use the Gnu-Win32 (cygwin) version of make.

I experimented a month or two ago with native win32 versions (I tried the
one compiled by Jan-Jaap van der Heijden and also compiled the source with
Visual C++). I ran into the problem you describe. I think it was related to
case-sensitivity of environment names: win32 make expects to find a "Path"
environment variable, not "PATH" or "path".
