Running dosbox I could extract nmake15.exe which was: $ file nmake15.exe nmake15.exe: Self-extracting PKZIP archive MS-DOS executable, MZ for MS-DOS, PKLITE compressed, ZIP self-extracting archive Then I can simply used the extracted nmake.exe under wine as usual :) C:\>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94.
