PDCurses installation on Windows [on hold]

Hello i try to start with C language.
OS: Windows 8
Compiler: GNU-GCC (it uses MinGW)
IDE: Code::Blocks
I would like to use PDCurses library in my project, during last several hours i have seen many manuals and advices how to do it but, in my opinion either they are all outdated or i must do something wrong.
I have encountered two sort of advices:
1) use MAKE command
2) use pdcurses.lib in installation file and copy it
I downloaded PDCurses3.6 ZIP file from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdcurses/files/pdcurses/
When i have read all README files inside installation folder, i have tried for example install it by MAKE command (picture, open it in new window, it will be larger and easy to read), but my windows 8 does not know MAKE command
(ERROR: "make" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file).
I have also seen this advice:
https://superuser.com/questions/1121913/how-do-we-install-new-libraries-for-c-mingw
But I for example havent found any pdcurses.lib, pdcures.dll in the whole installation package (neither 3.6 nor 3.4) etc.
My own code is not important at all now, i just want to install PDCurses library.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions seeking debugging help ("why isn't this code working?") must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself. Questions without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers. See: How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example." – jww, K.Dᴀᴠɪs, Makyen

Please show the code and/or state the errors. The text on the picture is too small for some people to read. In addition, the text on the image cannot be indexed by search engines for future visitors.

Please add code, errors and data as text (using code formatting), not images. Images: A) don't allow us to copy-&-paste the code/errors/data for testing; B) don't permit searching based on the code/error/data contents; and many more reasons. In general, code/errors/data in text format >>>> code/errors/data as an image >> nothing. Images should only be used, in addition to text in code format, if having the image adds something significant that is not conveyed by just the text code/error/data.
