Re: how to use "make" to build such project as lemur etc. on winxp.

Hi T.Wtsing.

You can use MinGW or CigWin in order to get the environment of linux to use Configure, Make and Make Install steps. This is the only solution, I know so far, to build linux projects containing makefiles on windows with GCC or G++. You can google how to get MinGW or CigWin.

The other tool that might also help you is NMAKE tool for windows. Remember !!! It uses CL compiler.

"CodeBlocks" is a cross platform compiler that might also help you. I haven't worked much on it but i'm sure it contains option to use makefile to build a project.

Let me know what option works out for you.

Dear all,
 
I often need to build on winxp some projects developed on linux.Usually along with the srcs are some direction files like makefile.in,install,makefile.app.in,install-sh etc.I'm a novice to the "make".and know no much more than going to the top directory of the codes and run make,make install and such.can anyone tell me:
Is "make" able to build any c,c++ code in winxp?
why some codes cannot be built although have writen correct makefile?
 
thanks very much!
 
 
T.Wtsing.
