I never used the MSYS shell, I always use cmd.exe. If your gcc.exe is
in your path, mingw32-make.exe should be as well and then something like

mingw32-make.exe -f makefile-win32

should work.
To make things a bit more comfortable, on my test VM I renamed
mingw32-make.exe to make.exe and created a Makefile in the Geany source
directory which includes makefile.win32, so I can just type:

make

and it works.

Thanks, I updated http://www.geany.org/Support/BuildingOnWin32 and also
removed mentioning the GTK 2.6 package versions as this is very
outdated since we depend on GTK 2.8. The easiest way is to use the new
GTK bundle which is kindly offered on www.gtk.org.

Enrico
