Makefile in visual studio

[dushyantkumar1]

Hi,

I want to write some code which can be portable to linux as well as on visual studio using command prompt.

I tried doing as suggested in:
http://mrbook.org/blog/tutorials/make/

This is for gcc compiler and it seems that I may have to change two variables:

CC=??
CFLAGS=??

I have no idea what it should be for visual studio.

Also, from this post I think that I can use the autodefine micro to identify the OS:

How can I identify the various compiler and window os?

Thanks,
Dushyant

doing make on windows and linux is different, on linux there is make
and on windows there is nmake/gmake something like that which comes with ms vc++. so you need to create two different make files for both the platforms.
