Thanks, have done it.

I've downloaded it, but have no idea of how to install it. I've untar-ed it, 
but where to copy the files to? I've copied them into the MSYS\bin, etc. 
direstories. Is it correct? Anyway the same error is appeared. Then I've 
opened "configure" file, have found that line (2315) and have changed the 
tilda signs to quotes. Now I see another behaviour:

===============><8================
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... ac_maketemp=\c:/MinGW/bin/make.exe"
no
===============><8================

Some strange string appears, but at least there are no errors. Have you any 
idea why tilda signs here produce an error, though they work correctly at 
other places?

Then I'm calling "make", it goes and some new errors appear at the end of 
listing:

===============><8================
gcc  -o ndisasm.exe ndisasm.o disasm.o sync.o nasmlib.o insnsd.o
nroff -man nasm.1 > nasm.man
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
c:\MinGW\bin\make.exe: *** [nasm.man] Error 3
===============><8================

I see some references to cygwin here... Is it correct? Yes, I installed 
cygwin earlier, but then I installed MinGW. Maybe I need to remove cygwin 
from the system? If so, then how to do it correctly? AFAIK, cygwin has no 
uninstaller.

As far as I see, LAME uses it. At least its "configure" seeks for it, and a 
message appears if it is not found.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
