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