You should be able to do that by running the build_w32.bat batch file
that comes with Make 3.81.  See the file README.W32 for more details.

Just what do you mean by ``work with VS''?  If you are asking whether
GNU Make will run Makefile files produced by the Visual Studio, then I
think the answer is NO: those Makefile's use many MS-specific
extensions of the Posix-standard Makefile syntax, which GNU Make
doesn't support.
