Following your guide: Building nginx on the Win32 platform with Visual C
With a few edits, I then ran:
./configure --with-cc=cl --builddir=objs --prefix=
–conf-path=conf/nginx.conf --pid-path=logs/nginx.pid
–http-log-path=logs/access.log --error-log-path=logs/error.log
–sbin-path=nginx.exe
–http-client-body-temp-path=temp/client_body_temp
–http-proxy-temp-path=temp/proxy_temp
–http-fastcgi-temp-path=temp/fastcgi_temp
–with-cc-opt=-DFD_SETSIZE=1024 --with-pcre=objs/lib/pcre-8.36
–with-zlib=objs/lib/zlib-1.2.8 --with-openssl=objs/lib/openssl-1.0.1e
–with-select_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-ipv6
–add-module=…/ngx-fancyindex
Which succeeded. Finally I ran: nmake -f objs/Makefile, which gave
the following output:

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don’t know how to make

Stop.
How do I build nginx on Windows?
Thanks for all suggestions

It looks like you are trying to build from sources available in
release tarballs. This won’t work. Please follow the guide
linked and clone the repository (or, alternatively, download a
repository snapshot there).

This does not seem logical. Why it should not work?
It is common to build and install from release tarballs (at least on
Unix). Why it should be different on Windows?

Historically, source tarballs does not contain some source files
needed to build nginx on Windows. Note that nginx/Windows is
still considered to be “beta” and the build process is cumbersome.
