Subject: building latest cvs ruby on win

I'm trying to build the latest cvs on Windows with msvc ... I found the
previous thread on requiring byacc and sed (and also libiconv and
gettext...), so I've gotten past those problems.

Then:

        set LIB=..\..;D:\Dev\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\mfc\lib;D:\Dev\Microso
ft Visual Studio\VC98\lib;D:\VTune40
compiling curses
compiling digest
MAKE Version 5.2  Copyright (c) 1987, 1998 Inprise Corp.
...
[errors, of course]

That's Borland's make.exe being found in the path. It appears miniruby.exe
is executing make.exe, and not finding it in the build directory (.) or
.\ext\digest, it hits up my path for one (and in this case found make.exe in
a Delphi installation...)

Should it be trying to call nmake.exe? Or should I get a make.exe from
somewhere else?
