start make from NetBeans - Please help!

[Ulf Zibis]

Dmitri, thanks.

I had to set path to ...cygwin\bin. ???
I think, this info should be added here: 
http://nb-openjdk.netbeans.org/get-and-build-troubleshooting.html

Now I have the next problem:

Entering directory `C:\Projects\OpenJDK7\jdk\make/java/nio/charset'
../../../../make/common/shared/Defs-windows.gmk:471: "WARNING: Value of 
MSVCRNN_DLL_PATH cannot be empty, check or set ALT_MSVCRNN_DLL_PATH"
../../../../make/common/shared/Defs-windows.gmk:484: "WARNING: Value of 
DXSDK_PATH cannot be empty, check or set ALT_DXSDK_PATH"
link: missing operand
Try `link --help' for more information.
../../../../make/common/shared/Compiler-msvc.gmk:129: *** 
COMPILER_VERSION cannot be empty here.  Stop.
C:\Projects\OpenJDK7\jdk\make\netbeans\charset\build.xml:39: The 
following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Projects\OpenJDK7\jdk\make\netbeans\common\make.xml:64: exec returned: 2
BUILD FAILED (total time: 12 seconds)

The problem is, that I don't have Visual Studio 2003 or 2005. I only 
have VS 6 from 1998.
But I think, there should be a way, to run make without Visual Studio, 
if there are no native sources to compile, but some make generated files.
