nmake is awfully primitive in itself compared to GNU make, and it is
doubly crippled by being restricted to cmd.exe syntax for shell commands
in the targets.
Instead, Abhijit, I suggest that you switch to CMake or SCons, either of
which will let you build software in a platform-independent way.
And to keep a tenuous hold on topicality, both are packaged for Cygwin.
