[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Make utility

skeeve@pawl.rpi.edu (Sean C. Cox) (07/13/90)

	Could someone point me to a good "make" utility that works like
  the UN*X make? Preferably one that has been tested to work with Turbo C.
        Thanks in advance!

Um, to my knowledge, Turbo C /comes/ with a MAKE utility whose operation is
described in an appendix in the manual.  My Turbo C (2.0) did.  I am assuming
that you're about to buy Turbo C and that you want to be prepared to set up
your own cli environment, though.  If you already have TC, then you can look
in the manual - Reference Guide Appendix D.  If your TC didn't/doesn't come
with the MAKE, then I hesitate to think where it came from...

The make that comes with Turbo C++ doesn't work like the unix make
utility.  While it is close, there are a number of minor and
irritating features which are different.  It is good enough for simple
stuff, which is all I do on my Rainbow, but it just won't handle a lot
of the stuff that gets posted to the net.

There is an excellent shareware make called NDMAKE, which uses
unix syntax exactly.  I got it from Compu$erve, and I know it
is widely distributed.

PolyMake, available from Sage Software, is compatible with UNIX make.  It
is an excellent product.

  There was one posted to c.b.i.p this week.

After looking for, and finding, a good programmer's editor, I'm now trying
to find *the* make. I tried several PD/SW packages, but liked none completely.
Now, I haven't got any information about the bigger/commercial/more expensive
packages like GNU make, Lugaru make or Polymake. Can anyone supply me with
this (of course, information about makes not mentioned here is also welcome)

Thanks in advance
