I am trying to build an old software. It is written in C.
Has .MAK files to build the code.

A line from .MAK file
\hw42\obj\fbl_fncs.obj : fbl_fncs.c
cl /AM /Os /Gs /Zp /Fo\hw42\obj\fbl_fncs fbl_fncs.c /c

The option /AM for cl.exe is not available for VC++ 6.0
Moreover the .mak files are executed using make.exe file.
VC++ 6.0, 5.0 provides nmake.exe.
Can anyone tell me which verison of Visual studio should I use to build the
code?

You will have to use Visual C++ V1.52, since this is the last one which
targets 16-bit DOS. nmake will probably work with this makefile, but it
would probably have to be the corresponding nmake.exe from VC 1.52.

All the Best
