Exporting Makefile inVC++.Net (2005)

Rajesh_Parameswaran

Hi All, I'm trying to compile a project, which is in VC++.Net using Visual Studio 2005. In Visual VC++6.0 there is an option 'Export Makefile' under the Project menu, for creating the makefile for a project. I'm using a custom build application, which will scan for all the .mak file and try to build the components. As a part of migration to VC++.Net, I need to generate the makefiles for the projects. But the menu option for the same is not available in .Net. I tried creating a new project in VC.Net, but ultimatly went in vain. I dont what option I should provide. I am new to .Net. Kindly let anyone know how to create a makefile in VC.Net? thanks and regards, Rajesh

Wasn't support for makefiles removed in VC.net? I think you have to use a command line option like "vcbuild". There is more information here[^]. Alternatively, this[^] may be of use.

He wanted to export the settings (to get a mak-File). :confused:

Hi KarstenK, I'm looking for a Microsoft Developer Studio Generated NMAKE File. There was an option to generate the .mak file in Visual C++ 6.0 Version [Project->Export MakeFile], that option is not available in Visual Studio.Net. I'm looking for that. Please share if you know how to generate . thanks and regards, Rajesh

Did I not understand his question? I think he wanted to generate a c++ makefile, but there is no support for makefiles in VC.net (or if there is I am not aware of it).

I'm 90% sure you can't do this in VC.net
