-Port of GNU make to Windows NT and Windows 95
-Builds natively with MSVC 2.x or MSVC 4.x compilers.
-
-To build with nmake on Windows NT or Windows 95:
-
- 1. Make sure cl.exe is in your %Path%. Example:
-
- set Path=%Path%;c:/msdev/bin
-
- 2. Make sure %include% is set to msvc include directory. Example:
-
- set include=c:/msdev/include
-
- 3. Make sure %lib% is set to msvc lib directory. Example:
-
- set lib=c:/msdev/lib
-
- 4. nmake /f NMakefile
-
-
-There is a bat file (build_w32.bat) for folks who have fear of nmake.
-
-Outputs:
-
- WinDebug/make.exe
- WinRel/make.exe
-
-Notes:
-
- This port prefers you have a working sh.exe somewhere on your
- system. If you don't have sh.exe, port falls back to
- MSDOS mode for launching programs (via a batch file).
- The MSDOS mode style execution has not been tested too
- carefully though (I use GNU bash as sh.exe).
-
- I verified all functionality with a slightly modified version
- of make-test-0.4.5 (modifications to get test suite to run
- on Windows NT). All tests pass in an environment that includes
- sh.exe.
-
- I did not provide a Visual C project file with this port as
- the project file would not be considered freely distributable
- (or so I think). It is easy enough to create one though if
- you know how to use Visual C.
-
- I build the program statically to avoid problems locating DLL's
- on machines that may not have MSVC runtime installed. If you
- prefer, you can change make to build with shared libraries by
- changing /MT to /MD in the NMakefile (or build_w32.bat).
