Did you run the vcvars32.bat file? it sets up a lot of environment
variables to make VC work. Or perhaps you installed VC so that those
environment variables were set already... can you type "cl" at the
command prompt and does the microsoft C compiler get invoked?
How did you get your system set up so that it could find nmake? You didn't
just add nmake's path to %PATH%, did you?
