I just ran nmake -f NMakefile in freshly extracted freetds-current.tgz
(freetds-0.83.dev.20101006), and got:

C:\tmp\freetds-0.83.dev.20101006>nmake -f NMakefile -nologo PLATFORM=win32 
CONFIGURATION=debug
        perl src\tds\types.pl misc\types.txt > include\types.h.err
Can't open perl script "src\tds\types.pl": No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'perl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
