I think his problem was to do with the formatting of the Makefile, where the make program is expecting 'TAB' characters where space characters where found. And yes I think switching to nmake is going to resolve this problem. Otherwise have to manually add those TAB characters.

Makefile
--------

all:  program

program:   program.c
        ^ need TAB here
           VC program.c
        ^ and here
