Question

How to write a makefile for programs that i want to run on windows.
I want to use make files to compile the code instead of vc8 UI compiler.

Answer 1

Makefiles for Windows are just the same as those for other systems; no different at all. Here’s an example one from Microsoft’s own reference:

# Sample makefile

!include <win32.mak>

all: simple.exe challeng.exe

.c.obj:
  $(cc) $(cdebug) $(cflags) $(cvars) $*.c

simple.exe: simple.obj
  $(link) $(ldebug) $(conflags) -out:simple.exe simple.obj $(conlibs) lsapi32.lib

challeng.exe: challeng.obj md4c.obj
  $(link) $(ldebug) $(conflags) -out:challeng.exe $** $(conlibs) lsapi32.lib
