Nmake problem

[drhowarddrfine]

Haven't used nmake in quite a while.  I have a library I need to compile from C source.  I ran vcvars32.bat.  I installed the VS Toolkit and copied nmake from elsewhere and put it in the bin folder of the kit.

Everyone says it works by just doing nmake -f (filename) but I keep getting the error "can't make /include/fcgi_lib.h".  I did this:  nmake -f c:\fcgi\makefile.nt

So then I put nmake in the fcgi folder but this time it says it can't find cl.exe to compile it.

I know I'm forgetting something stupid so can a brother give a helping hand?

If you try nmake without arguments in the root of the project what happens ?
These sorts of errors usually mean that there is a dependency that isnt being
build first. ie: Its not trying to make fcgi_lib.h but trying to make something that
depends on it and it may not be able to find it.

I'd also look at pathing to nmake rather than moving it around.
