This usually means that Make cannot find gcc.  Error -1 is returned when
it cannot run the command line immediately preceeding the error message. 
Please make sure that gcc.exe is on your PATH. 

On my machine, typing "make obj/main.o" produced this:

  gcc
  gcc.exe: No input files
  make.exe: *** [obj/main.o] Error 1

which is normal, because gcc exits with status 1 when no files are 
mentioned on the command line.
