Compiling GNU Make for Win32 on Win2k with VC7

[Nigel Peck]

Can someone please tell me how to setup make on Win2k with VC7 nmake.

I downloaded make-3.79.1.tar.gz, the readme.w32 only mentions win95, 98
and NT. Is there a more recent version I should get (I downloaded from a
mirror) or am I doing something wrong or doesn't it work?

(I tried the following instructions)

1. Make sure cl.exe is in your %Path%. Example:
set Path=%Path%;c:/msdev/bin
2. Make sure %include% is set to msvc include directory. Example:
set include=c:/msdev/include
3. Make sure %lib% is set to msvc lib directory. Example:
set lib=c:/msdev/lib
4. nmake /f NMakefile

But I keep getting dll errors that mspdb70.dll wasn't found, I put the
path into PATH but it still complains.

I'm not subscribed to this list, I got the email address from
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html

TIA
Nigel
