MinGW doesn't have a shell.  Do you mean MSYS?

I had to patch the Makefiles to get my fpc and lazarus to build inside
msys.  Is this what you are trying to do?

You are using "make" supplied by fpc, so why mingw/msys?  I'm a bit
confused about what you are doing, but it looks like you can't build
lazarus even with the fpc supplied tools, so perhaps you have PATH issues.
