Just copy src\tds\types.h to include\, and run nmake.  

$ diff include\types.h build\src\tds\types.h

I think at one time types.h was in the include directory and later we decided to leave in the the tds directory.  NMakefile assumes it will be in include.  If you copy the file, you satisfy the dependency without needing Perl or types.pl.
