Is NASM on your execution path? If not, try with it added to the path.

As others have pointed out, that would configure to build for Itanium 
which you don't want to do - VC-WIN64A is the one you want for x64.

I don't know anything about dmake, but this suggests it's not close 
enough to the expected version of make. I wouldn't be surprised if the 
VC builds effectively require nmake - they're certainly more likely to 
work with nmake.

I'd find out what's stopping nmake working and fix it; then try with 
NASM on the path, configure with VC-WIN64A, and build with nmake.
