Hi - If you have a generic version of Builtins.mak - the rules file for Borland's make.exe - please e-mail it to me. I'm a newcomer to Turbo C++, and I'm porting a small flock of utilities I wrote under Unix (actually Venix on DEC Rainbow) to run in a PC environment. I'm sure that there are nice ways to do make-like dependencies under the IDE or with .PRJ files, but I'd like to minimize changes to the makefiles & programs, and also to my tiny brain :-) I will learn the IDE in time, but I am a bit put off by manuals that so thoroughly mix reference and tutorial - you almost have to read them at the keyboard, doing all of the examples in sequence, to get the whole picture. (but, again, I'm a newcomer - I haven't followed the way of Turbo for the last 5 years/50,000 miles) I was pleasantly surprised to find that TC++ (Prof) came with make, enthusiastic that one could !include rule sets, but then disappointed that Turbo Make had to be explicitly told: .c.obj tcc $< and the other general rules. (Yes, I'm working on my own builtin.mak, but I don't want to mangle some subtlety that will bite me later.) Note - before posting here, I scanned comp.lang.c++ comp.lang.c (good FAQ file) comp.os.msdos.misc comp.os.msdos.programmer but to no avail (will post to CIS BOR forum also) so, thanks in advance - -- Denis dmckeon@hydra.unm.edu
