Thanks for the help. Still struggling, thou, due to nmake's crappy system. Sorry, also, as I was not clear. I would like to run microsoft's CL.exe, LIB.exe, etc. tools, but from within a Unix GNU Makefile. A makefile is just a makefile, so the rules can be anything. Currently, if I select cmake -G "Unix Makefiles", the makefile generated uses gcc. While if I use -G "NMake Makefiles", I get an nmake Makefile compatible with VisualC++. nmake is just such a poor make system compared to the GNU tools that it makes little sense using it. In the project I'm porting, it just dies, as it seems it cannot take rules such as "mydirectory/myfile" (my project is made of several subprojects). That's why I would rather use cygwin's make instead, but have the makefile create rules for the visual C toolchain, not gcc. Is there any way to make this work? I was hoping porting a cmake project would be trivial, but this is starting to be painful. -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Kubuntu Edgy _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
