Quoting the error message as text would be a kindness to the reader.

Not sure what's going wrong, but one thing that crosses my mind is that
\ is an escape character in make-files, so may be escaping the
$-expansion you were hoping for with $(notdir ...) - I believe the MS
command shell understands / as path separators also, so try replacing
each \ with a / in your commands and see if that helps.
