This means nmake is not installed on your Windows PC. To install you need to downloading, extract, and place two files into your $PATH. Follow the couple steps below to install nmake on your PC. In my case I installed nmake on Windows XP.

Download nmake: Visit the following link to download nmake.
Extract nmake:Run the Nmake15.exe file which will extract two files to the directory where it is located. These files will be nmake.exe and NMAKE.ERR.

Place nmake In PATH: Now move those two files into your path somewhere such as C:\WINDOWS\system32 or print out your path as shown below to place them in a different location.
Print PATH:
1
C:>PATH
2
PATH=C:Perlsitebin;C:Perlbin;C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:WINDOWSSystem32Wbem;C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsBinn;C:Program FilesUSB Display Adapter;C:Program FilesTortoiseSVNbin;C:bin;C:rubybin;C:Program FilesPostgreSQL8.3bin;C:Program FilesVimvim72;C:cygwinbin;C:Program FilesGNUGnuPGpub;C:cygwinnmap;c:mspgccbin
Test nmake: Now type nmake from a DOS prompt and you should see output similar to the below.
1
C:>nmakeMicrosoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50
