Nmake command (makefile in Windows)

1. if you already haveVc6Nmake script file (. Mak) can be exported directly)

"Project-export makefile ..."

Nmake-F nmaketest. Mak CFG = "nmaketest-Win32 debug"

Nmake-F nmaketest. Mak CFG = "nmaketest-Win32 debug" All

Nmake-F nmaketest. Mak CFG = "nmaketest-Win32 release" clean

Note: If the/F option is not specified, use the makefile in the current directory.

【Nmake /?] For more help! Vc6: [D: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio \ vc98 \ bin]

Vs2008: [D: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 \ Vc \ bin]

2. The C ++ project of vs does not provide the nmake script file export function. We only need to use tools or manually compile the nmake script file.

3.Rc.exe[Convert. RC resource text to. Res binary file]

/L 0x804 // default language ID (in hexadecimal notation) 0x804: Simplified Chinese 0x409: More in the United States...

/FO "nmaketest. Res" // specify the res name output by the RC file

For example, rc.exe/L 0x804/FO "nmaketest. Res"/D "_ debug"/D "_ afxdll" "nmaketest. RC"

4.Cl.exeCommon options [compile. C,. cpp,. cxx into an OBJ file]

/I "../include" // Add the header file search path

/D Win32 // pre-compiled macro definition

/W3 // set level 3 warning level

/FP "nmaketest. PCH" // specify the precompiled file name

/YU "stdafx. H" // use the pre-compiled header file during generation

/C // compile but not link

/Femytest // compile and output the mytest.exe Executable File

/LD // create a dynamic link library
/LDD // create a dynamic link library for debugging

/Ml // use libc. lib to create a single-thread Executable File
/MLD // use libcd. lib to create a single-thread executable file for debugging
/MT // use libcmt. lib to create multi-thread executable files
/MTD // use libcmtd. lib to create and debug multi-thread executable files
/MD // use msvcrt. lib/msvcrt. DLL to create multi-thread executable files
/MDD // use msvcrtd. lib/msvcrtd. DLL to create and debug multi-thread executable files

/Z7 // generate debugging information compatible with c7.0
/ZD // generate the row number
/Zi // generate complete debugging information

/Link // pass the/Linklater-specified token to link.exe

// When the cl.execompilation is complete, link.exe will be automatically called for connection,
// After cl.exe is used directly to compile. C or. cpp with the main function, the OBJ and exe files are generated.

For example, CL/C test1.cpp test2.cpp // compile test1.cpp and test2.cpp.

For example, Cl *. CPP/MD/C/I "G: \ VISUAL C ++ \ vc98 \ platformsdk \ include"

5.Link.exeCommon options [link obj, Lib, res to DLL, EXE, and other executable files]

/DLL // output the DLL file

-Lib // generate lib static library file example: Link-lib *. OBJ/out: Test. Lib

/Libpath: ".. \ publicsdk \ Lib" // specify the external lib search path

/Subsystem: Windows [console] // specify a subsystem

/Machine specify the target platform {am33 | arm | EBC | IA64 | m32r | MIPS | SH3 | sh3dsp | sh4 | sh5 | thumb | x86 | x64}, etc.

/Debug // generate debugging information

/PDB: "nmaketest. PDB" // rename the generated PDB File

/Map: "nmaketest. Map" // rename the generated map file

/Out: "nmaketest.exe" // rename the generated EXE file

/Implib: "test. lib" // generate a export database named test. Lib.

/Entry: _ dllmaincrtstartup @ 12 // specify the start address of the _ dllmaincrtstartup function DLL.

Example: link gdiplus. lib/subsystem: Windows/out: test.exe file1.obj file2.lib file3.res // generate a Windows executable program named test.exe
Example: link gdiplus. lib/subsystem: console/out: test.exe *. OBJ file2.lib file3.res // generate a console executable program named test.exe
Example: link gdiplus. LIB/subsytem: Windows/dll/out: test. dll/implib: test. LIB/DEF: test. def *. OBJ file2.lib file3.res // generate the name test. DLL dynamic library

Example: link *. obj rc. res/libpath: "G: \ visual c ++ \ Lib"/subsystem: Windows/machine: x86 kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool. lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib UUID. lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib opengl32.lib

6.NmakeInstructions

(1) symbol description

# // Annotator

^ # ABC // # ABC string

\\// Connector used to merge two rows into one row. In a macro, when writing multiple rows, you must use "\" to connect.

% // File description

@ // Command modifier; prevents the result of the modified command from being printed.

$ // Macro quote

: // Dependency symbol

? [*] // Supports wildcard characters

(2) long file names are enclosed in double quotation marks.

For example, all: nmaketest. dll // the file name is short, and quotation marks are not required.
For example, all: "$ (outdir) \ nmaketest.exe" // when the file name is long, especially when spaces exist in the path, you must use quotation marks.

(3) include the sub-MAKEFILE file

Include "./dll/makefile"

(4) condition judgment-01

! If "$ (CFG)" = ""
CFG = nmaketest-Win32 debug
! Message no configuration specified. Defaulting to nmaketest-Win32 debug.
! Else
! Message be specified.

(5) condition judgment-02 【! Ifndef! Ifdef]

! Ifndef private_runtimemode_debug
Runtimemode_debug =/MDD
! Else

(6) Output Message logs
