Trying compile with makefile but say mkdir command not found

When i compile i receive a error, but the command exist i tested my others projects and works using this same concept of makefile but now in this just dont work i dont know how to fix it, here is output from make command:

make:
mkdir obj
make: mkdir: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:42: obj/main.o] Error 127

make -w:
make: Entering directory '/mnt/c/project/philo/philo'
mkdir obj
make: mkdir: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:42: obj/main.o] Error 127
make: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/project/philo/philo'

i dont know why this is appearing but even when a i do a make clean say the same thing to rm, help.

my makefile:

P_INCLUDE       =   include/
P_SRC           =   src/

P_OBJ           =   obj/

#Files
F_SRC           =   main.c dinner.c legacy.c

OBJ             =   $(addprefix $(P_OBJ), $(F_SRC:.c=.o))

INC             =   -I $(P_INCLUDE)
CFLAGS          =   -Wall -Wextra -Werror
PATH            =   mkdir $(@D)
RM              =   rm -rf
cc              =   clang

NAME            =   philo

all:            $(NAME)

$(NAME):        $(OBJ)
                @echo '.o created in obj folder'
                $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -g $(INC) $(OBJ) -o $(NAME)
                @echo 'File(philo) created'

$(P_OBJ)%.o:    $(P_SRC)%.c
                $(PATH)
                $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -g $(INC) -c $< -o $@

clean:
                $(RM) $(P_OBJ)
                @echo 'All clean'

fclean:         clean
                $(RM) $(NAME)

re:             fclean all

.PHONY:         all clean fclean re

The problem is you have reset the PATH variable inside your makefile:

PATH            =   mkdir $(@D)

Now when you run a shell, your $PATH environment variable contains the text mkdir foo and so the shell will dutifully try to find the programs you want to run in the directory named mkdir foo, just as it would try to find them in /usr/bin if you had PATH = /usr/bin.

Since there is no directory mkdir foo, the shell cannot find any programs that it wants to run, including mkdir.

You should not modify standard system environment variables inside your makefile. Maybe you want to use something like:

MKPATH          =   mkdir $(@D)

instead.
