Re: Need help building DBD::Sybase on Windows

Looks like they are a bit old.  nmake is part of Microsoft visual
studio.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Michael used MS Visual C++
4 to build the binaries. 

In any case, the Makefile will have to be modified to pick up the
linker included with mingw (http://www.mingw.org/).
