Description:
------------
I am attempting to build with either 
make OR
nmake
and cannot get past BUILD errors
download PHP 5.2.8 and attempt to build
%PHP_HOME%\win32>make Makefile
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.  Stop.
What does this mean?

%PHP_HOME%\build>make build.mk
make: Nothing to be done for `build.mk'.
What does this mean?



Reproduce code:
---------------
Download 5.2.8 and try to build it


Expected result:
----------------
I expect a build which is not so horribly broken that it will at least
produce meaningful error messages

Actual result:
--------------
%PHP_HOME%\win32>make Makefile
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.  Stop.
What does this mean?

%PHP_HOME%\build>make build.mk
make: Nothing to be done for `build.mk'.
What does this mean?

There is no make on windows (Visual C++).

5.2.8 builds fine on Windows, please ask support questions on the php windows internals mailing list.
