problems building GNU MAKE 3.79 on win32

[Anjan Bacchu]

Hi All!,

  I have windows 2000. I downloaded gnu make source from the gnu ftp 
site( to build some java code).

  I am building this source using visual C++ 6.0 (no service pack).

  when i tried to build the make by executing the "build_w32.bat" 
script. I am getting the following warnings and 1 ERROR in main.c

================
G:\work\test\gnumake\make-3.79>cl.exe /nologo /MT /W3 /GX /Zi /YX /Od /I 
. /I glob /I w32/include /D _DEBUG /D WINDOWS32 /D WIN32 /D _CONSOLE /D

================

Can someone suggest how to fix it ? I tried to define LOCALEDIR as 
c:\\temp but that gave another series of errors.

I ran configure.bat but that also did not make a difference -- it gave 
more errors.

Is there a way out ? I don't mind going through a FAQ only I don't know 
where to locate it.

Thanks for all help,

BR,
