I have a makefile originally written for Microsoft's nmake that I am trying to use with smake.  It fails on the following rules:

{..\lua-5.0\src}.c.obj:
 $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c $<
{..\lua-5.0\src\lib}.c.obj:
 $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c $<

It doesn't like the - in the directory name: if I change the path to just lua50 (and rename the directory) then it works fine.  However, this is an incompatibility with nmake that might be easy to fix.

Regards,
Bruce (yet another long-time Symantec C++ user)

I tested a little further and found that, even though the makefile parses after changing the path from lua-5.0 to lua50, it still isn't able to compile the lua source files. Guess smake doesn't process the {} rules exactly the same way as the Microsoft and Borland makes do.  So, I'll just keep using the Borland make with the dm compiler; it'll be fine.

Anyway the problem with '-' still remains, even though it doesn't matter to me personally.

Regards,
Bruce

This isnt related to Scite is it ? They are adding LUA scripting options.

Yes, that's what it's for.  (Write me for more info, or to
become involved in testing / development.)
