Mingw tools understand Win32 paths. In order to work with POSIX paths,
you need to use the MSYS tools that are available from the same site as
mingw. Something like this:
# open an MSYS bash shell (usually c:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin\bash.exe)
cd bbdb/lisp
make --makefile=makefile-temp EMACS=/c/emacs/emacs-24.3/bin/emacs
The emacs repo has some instructions on how to setup the tools to
build emacs itself using mingw/msys tools (see nt/INSTALL).
A much better approach would be to create an emacs ELPA package for
bbdbv3, as that would be able to compile and install the lisp and docs
without requiring any tools outside a running emacs (even on Windows).
