I installed mingw so I could generate 6 man tbs rather than try to download them. I downloaded the zip file from github and ran make all when I got this:

Can someone tell me what simple thing I'm doing wrong?
My advice would be that you download the tablebases.
With a decent connection not so hard.
Generate them requires a good machine and a lot of time.

I have a pretty good machine and not much of an internet connection.

You installed mingw, but you're compiling with Visual Studio 2013? Maybe the two can somehow work together (don't know), but your installation certainly is different from mine.
If you can't get it to compile, you can try the binaries I attached here.

I extracted syzygy to a subdirectory of my VS project files as that is where all my source code is. Then I opened the mingw cmd prompt, changed directory to the src subdir, and ran make all, with the results I posted. I don't generally use mingw or linux, so I have no idea what I did wrong. I downloaded mingw from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/. Thank you for the windows binaries. I will probably use them though I would like to have mingw working.

You have to set the path to all these files that the compiler can't find (tbgen.P etc). It would be easier with a *.bat file and a PATH= command.

It is normal that the .P files are not found on the first run. They are being created.
The problem starts with "A subdirectory or file -p already exists."
It seems mkdir does not understand the -p option. The point of "mkdir -p NEWDIR" is to prevent mkdir from complaining if NEWDIR already exists, but instead mkdir is trying to create a "-p" directory and complains that it exists...
So the first question is whether mingw's mkdir is being run.
