Windows 中的 Makefile

Question

I have a folder named 'X' . In X I have two subfolders: src and include .

The src folder contains a C file main.c , and the include folder contains a file main.h .

I want to write a makefile to build these files(from folder X ) in windows command prompt. I have tried a lot but with no effect. First of all I need the make file format in Linux for this, and once I have that i will do that in Windows.

Can anybody help me in doing this?

Answer 2

制作 Makefile 后，您可以使用 MinGW 的 mingw32-make - GNU make 的 Windows 本机构建。

Answer 3

1. Open the folder ( X ) in file explorer.

2. Right click anywhere > new > text document.

3. Right click on the file > rename > remove .txt extension.

4. Open up the makefile with your favorite text editor.

Answer 4

You can use NMake , which is the windows alternative do Linux make. It is a command-line tool included with Visual Studio.

Although the syntax is very similar, you will find some differences. So the makefile that works on Linux may not work directly with NMake in windows.

In Linux, these lines for example:

gcc -c main.cpp -o main.o
gcc -o app main.o -lstdc++

In Windows, probably should be changed to:

cl.exe /c main.cpp /Fomain.o
link.exe /OUT:app.EXE main.o

So the makefile require edition to work with NMAKE in windows.

To use the makefile "as is", you should try a tool to mimic Linux commands in Windows, like Cygwin .
