‘cl’ and related tools are not in the PATH after installing Visual Studio. If you look in the Start Menu folder for Visual Studio, you will find something like “VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.” Running nmake under that should succeed, at least with this C99 fix in place.

I think MS gave up on putting the VS tool chain in the PATH by default when they started delivering both 32-bit and 64-bit toolchains. If you look in vcvarsall.bat, you'll see that the full environment it needs is more complicated than just the PATH, and looking in the nest of batch files now, it is more complicated than I recalled.

As an embedded developer with many different compiler toolchains crossing my desk, I am very happy to see that from them. Back in the day, they used to insist on setting PATH, and then adding INCLUDE and LIB which often messed with other compilers, even other compilers targeting Windows let alone cross compilers.
