>No, and since nmake is MS's make tool, it will not happen, since MS does not offer the source. Just to muddy the waters somewhat Lucent (or AT&T as it used to me i think) also have an nmake utility heres a link to the faq entry comparing it to gmake. http://www.bell-labs.com/project/nmake/faq/gmake.html >> Would there be a reason to use nmake over make anyway? (I have a >> makefile that failed under 'make' and the readme said to use nmake..) >Yes. You seem to have a nmake-makefile, so you have to use nmake, unless you're rewriting it.
