With that, I try to compile libcouchbase myself, however I cannot run make on the source code, it is written to be compile with nmake. Not sure how to use nmake to compile. Any idea?

Did you install the following packages from couchbase repo?
- libcouchbase
- libcouchbase-devel
- libvbucket
- libvbucket-devel

Also if you are on a machine that alrady has Couchbase Server installed try pointing --with-couchbase to the install directory. It should be /opt/couchbase
