Subject: Understanding "NMAKE"

Author: Nolan Denson

I have notice that when most make post on here about compiling they usually make
a reference to the nmake file. I on the other hand have always made my builds
via the studio. So now i am trying to understand this nmake option, which is ran
from the directory of the program i am trying to compile. So for a program such
as crafty to get the dual process to work and other options must i edit the
Makefile.nt for the (windows binary I am trying to created). Also i have hear
others made statemnets about running the profiling from there, so is that done
with the /Qprof_gen /Qprof_dirc:\crafty /c for the first run and /Qprof_use
/Qprof_dirc:\crafty /c for the final run. but where on earth do i put that
option.

Buttom line is compiling from the dos prompt as simple as running the command
"nmake -f nmake.nt wcrafty" or must i do a lot of editing to that nmake.nt file.

If someone has an example of a nmake file that compiles crafty from the command
line and run the profiles. That would greatly help.

So is it better to create your .exe from the studio or command line?

Thanks
