GNU make looks first for a file called GNUmakefile, ahead of looking for Makefile and then makefile. Renaming sys/windows/Makefile.mingw32 to sys/windows/GNUmakefile allows: o src/GNUmakefile (for use by GNU make) and src/Makefile (for use Microsoft nmake) to both reside in the src folder during build. o src/GNUmakefile will be used by GNU make, without having to explicitly specify "-f GNUmakefile" on the GNU make command line. o src/Makefile will be used by Microsoft nmake, without having to explicitly specify "-f Makefile" on the Microsoft nmake command line. For the gcc build, the movemement of sys/windows/GNUmakefile needs to be copied to src/GNUmakefile as part of the build process (see sys/windows/build-msys2.txt). For the Microsoft Visual Studio command line build with nmake, sys/windows/Makefile.nmake needs to be copied to src/Makefile as part of the build process (see sys/windows/build-nmake.txt). They are both copied to the src folder from their respective repository source file names when the nhsetup.bat file is used.
