FYI, it would require to employ so called NMAKE batch-mode, which is not trivial to configure, indeed. Especially, if input/output paths need to be handled, etc. Here is my question on using NMAKE batch-mode with tree of directories I asked a few years ago on microsoft.public.vc.ide_general [1] and recently re-asked in SO [2] and MSDN [3]. My question remains unanswered.
