I don't know if this has come up before, but this is a download
location for Microsoft's nmake, which could be a bit easier to find
and install than the other make programs on Windows (I haven't tried
the pure-Perl make).

Subject: [Xmltv-devel] nmake for windows

A while back there was a discussion about the fact that makefiles
generated by ActivePerl wanted to use Microsoft's NMAKE and not GNU
MAKE.

I'm in the process of migrating to a new laptop and ran into the
problem.  I don't currently have MS VC++ on my new laptop, but want to
use it for my XMLTV work.

A google search revealed this page
http://www.verysimple.com/scripts/support_modules_windows.html

The author has some strange delusions (he thinks the fact that Perl
uses MAKE -- which doesn't ship on windows -- is a conspiracy by Linux
advocates to move everyone off windows) but does provide some good info
on Windows Perl.

One thing he provided was this link for NMAKE from Microsoft!
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe
                 or
http://makeashorterlink.com/?S12961445 

I just downloaded it and was able to build XMLTV with it! (CYGWIN was
still in my path.. not sure if it was used)
