 Building for 64-bit Windows
 
     For 64-bit build the PATH has to point to 64-bit MinGW:
 
-        C:\>set PATH=C:\MinGW64\bin;C:\MSYS\1.0\bin;%PATH%
+        set PATH=C:\MinGW64\bin;C:\MSYS\1.0\bin;%PATH%
 
     You need to pass W64=1 to mingw32-make (or make if you don't have
     mingw32-make):
 
-        C:\xz-5.x.x\windows>mingw32-make W64=1
+        mingw32-make W64=1
