Probably, it's just one of those things you need to do a few times.
VC++ doesn't handle makefiles very well, in my experience. Also the
.dsp files don't lend themselves to random experimenting.
Here's my copy of the .dsp file for the intermed/exwnrndr example:
# Microsoft Developer Studio Project File - Name="exwnrndr" - Package
Owner=<4>
# Microsoft Developer Studio Generated Build File, Format Version 5.00
# ** DO NOT EDIT **
# TARGTYPE "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library" 0x0102
CFG=exwnrndr - Win32 Debug
!MESSAGE This is not a valid makefile. To build this project using
NMAKE,
!MESSAGE use the Export Makefile command and run
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE NMAKE /f "exwnrndr.mak".
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE You can specify a configuration when running NMAKE
!MESSAGE by defining the macro CFG on the command line. For example:
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE NMAKE /f "exwnrndr.mak" CFG="exwnrndr - Win32 Debug"
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE Possible choices for configuration are:
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE "exwnrndr - Win32 Release" (based on\
"Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library")
!MESSAGE "exwnrndr - Win32 Debug" (based on "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link
