You can retrieve this from either ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/NMAKE15.EXE or ftp://unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/NMAKE15.EXE which should help out anyone who is compiling native. Sadly I haven't been able to find a sourceware Nmake clone that could be used by cross compilers. Anyone? Also I have written a small PD command line converter I call cl2gcc which can be used either native or cross, to wrap gcc/ld/dlltool to compile Nmakefiles without change, at least it works for compiling/linking winvn, which is the only large project I have tried it on so far.-) It is 15k, bzip2'ed so I won't post it to the list, but anyone who wants a copy is welcome to email to me, for one, Please note my return address is anti spammed so REMOVETHIS-), or I won't get the message.
