Either set INSTALL=${DJDIR}/bin/ginstall in the environment before
running the scripts, or modify the script to call echo.exe (must use
the .exe suffix) where it puts the value of INSTALL in these files.

If you set MAKESHELL or SHELL in the environment, you are expected to
include a full pathname and extension, like in
MAKESHELL=c:/bin/bash.exe.  Otherwise it won't work.  This should be
explained in the docs and README.
