Compile OpenBLAS under Linux command line in Windows 10 (want to produce dll/lib)

[Bennie Zhitomirsky]

Hi,

Instead of having a headache with MinGW, Cigwin and others I am trying to use the new Windows 10 feature (in beta) which allows to execute Linux stuff under windows. Seeing that make may be confused I am executing the following command line: make OSNAME=WINNT. However I am getting the errors that I am pasting below. It looks like it does not see windows definitions.

I doubt the OSNAME=WINNT makes sense inside what is basically a
Linux Virtual Machine.

It is a crafted VM.

On cygwin I have no problem, but I am the cygwin binary maintainer
so slight biased.

maybe, I am on W7 so I can not verify
