problems while building vc++ programs at command line using make

[chandan agarwal]

hi

I have been given the task of building vc++ programs at the command line using make software.

i have installed gnu make-3.81 version. i was able to build and run makefiles for turbo c++. but when i tried it for vc++ i faced a lot of problems.

i found that vc++ has its own linker link and compiler cl. i am giving u a makefile tht was made for turbo c++. can u tell me what changes to i need to do make in it to make it run at the command line.

the make file is as follows:

test.exe: file1.o

tcc file1.o -o test.exe

file1.o: file1.cpp hdr1.h

tcc -c file1.cpp



i also find out that vc++ has its own makefile project and uses nmake to compile program at the command line. i made my project as makefile project but could not understand how to compile this makefile project at command line. do we have to make a makefile for it or does it get created automatically.

plz also tell me how to include the header files for makefiles and how do we set the path for include library.

i would really appreciate your help.
