 Sorry, but I don't understand why would you be mixing different compilers,
this seems to be just asking for trouble. In any case, I'd recommend:

1. Using msbuild.exe instead of nmake to build wxWidgets (if nothing else,
   this is going to be at least 10 times faster on any modern machine).
2. If you really need to use nmake, at least don't change paths in the
   middle, but do it from x64 command line prompt window.
