Hi Toby,
Sorry for the lengthy delay in replying to your question. I'm not so
familiar with the VC++ toolkit that you describe. Does it use the Microsoft
nmake.exe program or does it use a bona-fide Unix make utility? I think
there are some subtle differences in the syntax accepted by nmake and make.
I vaguely recall what you mentioned about checking off a box to tell a VC++
project to dump out a Makefile suitable for nmake.exe to run. But I think
this feature may have been discontinued in the move to VS.NET. At least, I
don't see this feature in the VS.NET IDE that I have. They do have a
"Makefile project", but all this is is a VS.NET project that will run an
nmake command for you. It does not create the Makefile for you.
In any case, I have an idea of what the Makefile for the blitz library would
look like. The default target is lib/blitz.lib, which depends on
Release/globals.obj and is created using the lib.exe command. In turn,
Release/globals.obj depends on src/globals.cpp and is created using the
cl.exe command along with all your compiler options. I'm sorry that I don't
have a simple way to generate the nmake Makefile for you, but I think it's
fairly simple to write it manually.
As for the IEEE math library issue, I think it is OK to leave this as
undefined in the config.h file. Please see the blitz/config-VS.NET2003.h
file for an example of config.h contents that have been known to work with
the MS VC++ compiler in the past.
Regards, Julian C.
