An easy way is to start a command prompt from Visual Studio ( Tools->Visual Studio Command Prompt ), so that all the necessary environment variables are set. Change directory to where the Makefile exists and run NMake. D:\tmp\Simple-Makefile>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 10.00.
You should make sure that you have at least one C compiler installed. You can install toolset like “MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14. 24)” from VS installer, that include C compiler, then you can find nmake.exe under “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.24.
On the menu bar, select Tools > Command Line > Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell.
