''.' is not recognized as an internal or external command while compiling

Recently I exploring jitsi meet with the latest version, and I try to build the application. But, after compiling makefile using make on Windows 10, I got an error '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Here is error message while compiling:

Solution 1:[1]

Looks like your makefile is invoking cmd.exe as the shell, and it's not able to parse the POSIX-style paths like ./... that use forward slashes instead of backslashes as directory separators.

You'll either have to write your make recipes to use cmd.exe syntax, or else install a POSIX shell on your system somewhere that make can find it (or set the make SHELL variable to the path).
