Looks like you didn't source devrc.sh properly. If you had, ninja.exe would 
have been found. "Sourcing" is not the same as running a script. To source a 
script you do
. <scriptname>
The initial . is important.

Secondly, you don't run ninja in /c/gcdev/gnucash/build/bin, it should be run 
in /c/gcdev/gnucash/build
The same goes for running "ninja install" afterwards.
