Why Netbeans make use of Posix path style?

I've tried to exclude cygwin in the path to no avail

I am receiving this error when try to compile a QT C++ project
Thanks

While your PATH point to D:\mingw32\bin, your shell complains about "/D/mingw64/bin/make.exe", so maybe there is a colon missing after the "D"?

Have you verified the location of make.exe ?

On my system, it is located at:

/C/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin

not

/C/MinGW/mingw32/bin

(I only have the 32 bit version, and it is on C not D on my system)
