are you able to use 'nmake' (that comes with MSVC)?
nmake is awfully primitive in itself compared to GNU make, and it is
doubly crippled by being restricted to cmd.exe syntax for shell commands
in the targets.
Instead, Abhijit, I suggest that you switch to CMake or SCons, either of
which will let you build software in a platform-independent way.
And to keep a tenuous hold on topicality, both are packaged for Cygwin.
