You can also use the GNU make included here:

This is really just a (small) set of unix tools running natively under Windows, using native Windows paths, etc. IMO this is the easiest way
to get GNU make for Windows.

Don't use the GNU make for Windows at steve.org.uk, this is an old and
buggy version (although it is the first result on google).

I do this all the time, and use this make:
http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe

Just replace the cygwin make with the above and it all works. It is
actually CVS gnu make with a change that allows the path stuff to work.

Just to be complete, there is a nice make installer made available by
the GnuWin32 project: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net.

And just to be more complete.. what all (cygwin, mingw, msys) do I need to install to get this to work? I would like to be able to use Eclipse CDT with an cmake generated nmake or makefiles but I am coming up short so far. The problem is that I have my "build" directory inside my project directory and there seems no way to tell nmake to move into that directory first, then run nmake. Using make this is straight forward.. make -C [build folder] Any ways this would help solve some issues I was having with Windows XP over the last week.
