Rainer what i want to understand is why use an external build tool when there is an equivalent to make built directly into visual studio. think its time for me to fire up the win 8 box and run nmake from command line and see if that does anything or if it works. On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 7:43 PM, R

Was nmake looked at as an alternative to mingw? as it is its part of visual studio and works with make files just like make does. what does mingw have that nmake doesnt? i feel switching would greatly reduce build complexity in terms of building on windows. -- Jonathan Aquilina -- Unsubscribe
