Using nmake, is it possible to have the makefile build all the .cpp files in the current directory automatically, without having to specify them individually? So, instead of something like: O = $(OBJ_DIR)/main.obj {$(SOURCE_DIR)}.cpp{$(OBJ_DIR)}.obj: ---COMPILE $< HERE--- I'd like to avoid having to specify each obj to make. Can...
When recursively invoking nmake, via the $(MAKE) macro, how can I pass on the target specified on the command line to the new instance? So, say I execute the following from the command line: c:\nmake clean I want the recursive call to nmake to pass the 'clean' target to the new nmake instance. ...
I'm attempting to perform a link of previously generated .obj files (using the latest version of MSVC). When those .obj's were created, the source code specified: #pragma comment(lib, ...) As such, the linker is attempting to link against static libraries specified in the source. Is there a way to instruct the linker to ignore these...
Is there a tool in the market that takes Visual Studio "nmake" files, and converts them to Unix-style "make" files? Is there any tool that eases the pain of managing makefiles in large projects? ...

I am compiling a YACC file using Cygwin shell on a PC. I am getting an 'unknown character \15'. The weird thing is that a co-worker on another machine can compile the exact same file using the same shell with no warnings or errors. Is there some kind of flag I need to set in my shell or with the compiler? We are using nmake and a Vis...

Many thanks to ephemient for recommending to try vcvarsall.bat. In DOS successfully ran vcvarsall.bat, which was part of MS C++ Express 2008 Next I continued to try to follow the PerlMonks advice by using ppm, i.e. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=434813 So I tried to make, really nmake Unicode-Map-0.112 again.

Hi, I'm a newbie in this vast world of programming. I've been given some codes in C which are compiled & linked using makefile. I can compile the code using nmake from VS2005. Now i want to build the program in C++ VS2005 IDE. From a quick google search, there seems to be no automated functions in importing makefile settings to VS IDE. ...
I use buildbot to compile my Qt/C++/nmake project. I would like to add the version number to the executable and the company details (on the properties of the file). Does anybody know where I can set this information? Note: I am using buildbot not Visual Studio so I need a command line way of doing this. ...
I have a legacy MS NMAKE Makefile I need to fix a few bugs in. There are some very long command lines I wish to debug that are being executed using the following NMAKE trick dep: cmd @<<tmpfilename cmd_args.. << When changing the line to dep: echo cmd @<<tmpfilename cmd_args.. << NMAKE complains that the line is too long....
Hi, I'm trying to build the qtestlib/tutorial1 example, but the testqstring.moc file isn't being generated when I run nmake (I'm running QT 4.5.2 on Windows XP SP3). I copied testqstring.cpp from the tutorial directory to my build directory (C:\sandboxes\testqstring) and from the QT command prompt ran vsvars32.bat file from my MS Visual ...
I have a makefile (using nmake & VC++ 2005): CPP_OBJS = $(CPP_SOURCE:.cpp=.obj) $(TARGET) : $(CPP_OBJS) $(link) $(ldebug) $(lflags) /DLL \ $(LIBPATHS) \ $out:$@ $(CPP_OBJS) $(conlibs) The problem is link step fails because $(CPP_OBJS) are expanded into the list of files where each filename is prepended with a folder name...
I want to create a generic nmake file that can be used for multiple projects with minimal changes to the .mak file. I want it to compile all of the source files (c/cpp) in a folder as well as all of the source files in all subfolders. I'm not sure if it's possible to use wildcards for directory names or how I would iteratively traverse m...
I'm using nmake to compile multiple source files into an elf. However I do not want to specify the .o files in a long list like this: OBJS = file1.o file2.o file3.o What I would prefer is to use a wildcard that specifies all .o files in the current directory as dependencies for the .elf. However, the .o files don't exist until I've co...
