Aniruddha,

I would guess that you have a problem quote a path with a space
in it.  Are you building stuff under "C:\Program Files"?  I would strongly
advice you to put everything you can into a directory for which the 
path above it has no space.  If you don't want to do that, then you may
need to fiddle in the various makefiles with adding quoting around paths.

Best regards,
