nmake /? in a visual studio command prompt should look something like this:<br><br><br>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC>nmake /?<br><br>Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.762<br>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Do we have any NMake users out there? I'm sure someone might be able to<br>answer this for me.<br><br>It looks like in the past NMake had a -J option, which like the -j of<br>gnu's gmake, causes parallel compilation where possible. This appears
<br>to be missing with the NMake I've got with Visual Studio 2005 though.<br>Was it ever there, is there a version with it in? Where did it go?<br><br>Also, bsdmake has a useful -k option which causes make to continue to
<br>compile things, even if one of the targets is broken in some way (-k ==<br>continue in spite of errors). Does anyone know whether there is an<br>equivalent for NMake?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Joe<br>_______________________________________________
