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).
