+It is recommended in Windows that you create a symbolic link directory for avoiding problem with folder naming conventions on Windows. Specially if your your Arduino folder is in:
+
+c:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino
+
+You will get problem for the special characters on the folder name. More details about this can be found on https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile/issues/94

+For creating a symbolic link you have to use the command “mklink” on Windows, e.g.

 - `BOARD_TAG` - Type of board, for a list see boards.txt or `make show_boards`
 - `MONITOR_PORT` - The port where your Arduino is plugged in, usually `/dev/ttyACM0` or `/dev/ttyUSB0` in Linux or Mac OS X and `com3`, `com4`, etc. in Windows.
 - `ARDUINO_DIR` - Path to Arduino installation. In Cygwin in Windows this path must be
   relative, not absolute (e.g. "../../arduino" and not "/c/cygwin/Arduino").
 - `ARDMK_DIR`   - Path where the `*.mk` are present. If you installed the package, then it is usually `/usr/share/arduino`
-- `AVR_TOOLS_DIR` - Path where the avr tools chain binaries are present. If you are going to use the binaries that came with Arduino installation, then you don't have to set it.
+- `AVR_TOOLS_DIR` - Path where the avr tools chain binaries are present. If you are going to use the binaries that came with Arduino installation, then you don't have to set it. Otherwise set it realtive and not absolute.
 
 The list of all variables that can be overridden is available at [arduino-mk-vars.md](arduino-mk-vars.md) file.
