nRF51822 Makefile on windows (BLE nano)

Question

Hi everybody, 
 I have a mistake with my makefile on windows 7 platform and Eclipse C edition.
The error is quite rapid => 
 20:42:38 **** Build of configuration Default for project nrf51Demo ****
make all 
rm -rf _build
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm -rf _build, ...) failed.
make (e=2): Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.

make: *** [clean] Erreur 2

20:42:39 Build Finished (took 897ms)
 
 I used this tuto : devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ 
 Thanks for your help guys, 
 This is my makefile :

rm -rf _build
 
 is that a windows command? I don't speak windows and I don't speak French but it looks to me like that error message is telling you it can't run the 'rm' command because it doesn't exist. 
 You probably need to install a package of tools to install an 'rm' on your system. And looking at the tutorial link you pointed to, indeed that says you need to install GNU Make and RM command-line tools. I suspect either you haven't done it or you haven't done in properly such that rm isn't in the path. I'd go check that piece of the tutorial again, until you can type 'rm' at the command line and get something other than a failure to find it, make's not going to work.
