nmake

Just wondering if there is a 'makedepends' equivalent that ships with visual studio that I can use with nmake. Does anyone know? You can use the /showIncludes switch to cl.exe to list the headers #include d by your source files. Nested includes are indicated by indentation with spaces. You can also turn on syntax-checking mode with the /Zs switch, to increase speed and avoid creation of .obj files. If you have Perl and a version of uniq (e.g. from GnuWin32 ) installed, the following one-liner will dump the list of unique headers used by myfile.cpp : cl /Zs /showIncludes /EHsc myfile.cpp | perl

I want to use implicit linking in my project , and nmake really wants a .def file . The problem is , that this is a class , and I don't know what to write in the exports section . Could anyone point me in the right direction ? The error message is the following : NMAKE : U1073: don't know how to make 'DLLCLASS.def' P.S: I'm trying to build using Windows CE Platform Builder . You can always find the decorated name for the member function by using dumpbin /symbols myclass.obj in my case class A { public: A( int ){} }; the dumpbin dump showed the symbol ??0A@@QAE@H@Z (public: __thiscall A::A(int)

When running CMake on one PC, CMake generates NMake files by default. On another, it generates a Visual Studio project. I know I can override the default by adding -G "NMake Makefiles" to the end of my CMake statement, but I want to know why it defaults to Visual Studio projects on one and NMake files on another. The following is from the CMake Source (version 2.8.4: cmake.cxx: starting line 2039): // Try to find the newest VS installed on the computer and // use that as a default if -G is not specified std::string vsregBase = "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\"; struct

When I try installing the PyQt5 on Windows using the command python configure.py I get this error: Error: Make sure you have a working Qt qmake on your PATH. I got the pyQt5 from PyQt5 Download . How can I install PyQt5? Update: I installed Qt 5.0.2 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2012, 500 MB) from the Qt Download page and now I have this error: Querying qmake about your Qt installation... Determining the details of your Qt installation... Error: Failed to determine the detail of your Qt installation. Try again using the --verbose flag to see more detail about the problem. And when I execute the

I just got a new quad core computer and noticed that nmake is only using 1 process. I used to use make which had the switch -j4 for launching 4 processes. What is the nmake equivalent? [edit] Based on the information below I have been able to add a command to my qmake project file: QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /MP Which effectively did it for me. Many thanks. According to MSDN , there's no such option for nmake . You can however make the compiler build multiple files in parallel by using the /MP option with the VC++ command line compiler and passing multiple files at the same time: > cl /MP a.cpp b.cpp c

We have a fairly large code-base. The vast majority of the code is compiled using qmake to produce the makefiles. However, there are some sub-projects that get produced by running batch files or running other programs. I'd like to be able to have everything compiled using qmake, but I can't figure out how to get qmake to simply run a script. One thing that I've tried is using QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS in my pro file, like so: TEMPLATE = lib SOURCES = placeholder.cpp CONFIG += no_link staticlib batch_runner.target = placeholder.cpp batch_runner.commands = my_batch_file.bat QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS = batch
