That 'nmake' invocation was done from the wrong place, as evidenced by 
the wrong number of '.' leading the path of makefile.nt.  You're supposed to

	cd \where\ever\gnuplot\src

and then either

	nmake -f ..\config\makefile.nt

or

	copy ..\config\makefile.nt .
	REM --- possibly edit the copy now, then:
	nmake -f makefile.nt

I'm pretty sure it says so in the README and/or INSTALL files, too.
