Does anyone know?

Does anyone know where i can find more information on microsoft's make 
files as well as compiler flags for Microsoft's compiler?  Some working 
examples would be helpful.

Thanks,
Richard

You can get a start by reading the MSDN docu about nmake:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vcce4/h…

Usage of NMAKE is not that much different from any other make.
The biggest difference is IMHO usage of the preprocessor:
For example you have to the syntax "!ifdef ..." instead of plain "if
..."
in gmake and "!if $(XXX)==YYY" instead of "ifeq ($(XXX),YYY)".

Also you can't use things like  ".%.o: %.c" for the dependency definition.
Instead use inference rules using the syntax ".c.o:".
