Hi, yesterday I remember the DM C++ compiler and had a look at it. Great to see that it's development is continued. Anyway, I want to try it on some code I have downloaded from the web (MAD mp3 library). Most of these packages use the autoconf stuff. I never had a look at it because IIRC it's not well supported on Windows.

What's the best way to create a DM makefile? I haven't found a way to create generic rule like:

.obj: ($file).c
    sc -s $file

or something like this. Any hint for me?

I use:

    .c.obj :
        sc -c $(CFLAGS) $*

Hi Walter, I knew there was something like this available (but I didn't
found it in the docs) :-)). Thanks a lot for the tip. Robert

Hi, ok and now all the .obj files should go into a .lib file. I tried the following but this didn't worked:

.obj.lib:
    link mylib.lib /B /C +-$*

Any idea how to such a rule the correct way? Robert

First, use lib instead of link <g>. Secondly, I've emailed you a makefile I use to build libraries. -Walter
