Where can I set path to make.exe on Windows?

When I try run make from cmd-console on Windows, it runs Turbo Delphi's make.exe but I need MSYS's make.exe. There is no mention about Turbo Delphi in %path% variable, maybe I can change it to MSYS in registry? Please, help.

The path is in the registry but usually you edit through this interface:

Go to Control Panel -> System -> System settings -> Environment Variables.

Scroll down in system variables until you find PATH.

Click edit and change accordingly.

BE SURE to include a semicolon at the end of the previous as that is the delimiter, i.e. c:path;c:path2

Launch a new console for the settings to take effect.

no effect, still Borlans's make.exe runs. I think it must be in registry, because >>There is no mention about Turbo Delphi in %path% variable

OK, when I tried "echo %path%" I saw Turbo Delphi's path in the middle of the long string. Thank you and sorry for inattention.

Use the Windows command "where" to find out where make.exe lives. For example: "where make.exe" Gives this result on my computer: C:Program Files (x86)BorlandDelphi7Binmake.exe If I had make.exe in other paths, it would show those.

Why don't you create a bat file makedos.bat containing the following line?

c:DOSmake.exe %1 %2 %5

and put it in C:DOS (or C:Windowsè or make sure that it is in your %path%)

You can run from cmd, SET and it displays all environment variables, including PATH.

In registry you can find environment variables under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USEREnvironment

HKEY_CURRENT_USERVolatile Environment

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlSession ManagerEnvironment

I had issues for a whilst not getting Terraform commands to run unless I was in the directory of the exe, even though I set the path correctly.

For anyone else finding this issue, I fixed it by moving the environment variable higher than others!
