Further I ran into this nmake error on cygwin: $ nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 7.10.3077 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. makefile(112) : fatal error U1001: syntax error : illegal character '{' in macro Stop. Looking into the Makefile I see that " ${SHELL}" and ${INSTALL} are causing this error. Do I have to install gmake to build?

It's solved! Thanks Saurabh Short name works only for Program Files => Program~1. However there are multiple folder for Microsoft* hence Microsoft~1 doesn't point to "Microsoft Visual Studio".
