title: Running a Docker image on Windows 10 using a Makefile
body: <p>I apologize if this a silly question but when I type inside PowerShell of Window 10:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run -it -v C:\Users\Bob\Documents\test:/usr/python -w /usr/python 
  bob/python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works just fine and I receive the following prompt:   </p>
  
  <pre><code>root@63eef6ac2b96:/usr/python#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To avoid repeating the command over and over, I build a makefile that has the following command</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker:
      docker run -it -v C:\Users\Bob\Documents\test:/usr/python -w /usr/python bob/python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I try to execute</p>
  
  <pre><code>make docker
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I receive the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>PS C:\Users\Bob\documents\test&gt; make docker
  docker run -it -v C:\Users\Bob\Documents\test:/usr/python -w /usr/python 
  bob/python
  c:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: Error response from

  s invalid, it needs to be an absolute path.
  See 'c:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe run --help'.
  make.exe": *** [docker] Error 125
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.</p>
