Re: Makefile and VStudio

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Two details to start with.

First, Visual Studio uses a different flavor of make, called nmake. A
good reference here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcug98/html/_asug_overview.3a_.nmake_reference.asp.

Second, I attempted to create a makefile for my projects a few years
ago. I just wanted to build everything from a command line, via
Epsilon. I started with Project | Export Makefile ... from within
Visual Studio, and began to modify that .vcn file. I eventually
abandoned that path. (Don't recall a lot of the reasons why.
Definitely a headache with environment variables and always having to
recreate the makefile after mods by others in Visual Studio.)
Nowadays, I build my project via this command line:

msdev.exe MyProject.dsp /make MyProject - Win32 Debug

.
