Yes, it shows prompt, and $(SLSH) win32/subst.sl in makefile.g32 works.

Sorry, i'm not a programmer and my knowledge about Windows is very, very
limited. But I can say that, from my and Thomas Wiegner's tries, unicode in
Windows console works very strange. Also, all newest builds have problems
with good showing polish chars in console (or, possibly I can't set it up
good).

My mistake, I tried once more (with good paths) and it stops on:
copy win32/slrnfeat.h .
( in makefile:
slrnfeat.h: win32/slrnfeat.h
	$(CP) win32/slrnfeat.h .)
saying that syntax of command is wrong. I copied it manually.
Then it gives exactly same error as when compiled with msys:

And so on when used 'all' parameter with make, but it produces a binary!

With 'slrn' parameter it stops on:
