Hi All,

I am trying to build the VC++ project in Eclipse IDE, so for this

I found I need to import the vc++ project as a eclipse makefile project, but before importing I need to create a initial makefile in vc++,

I found we can create makefile in vc++, following the below steps:

File->New->Project->visual C++->General->" selecting the file type makefile".

In Debug configuration asking the commands for build,clean and rebuild
So what exactly I need to specify here..

visual studio is new for me,so could you suggest me what commands I need to give...

how do I find build, rebuild and clean command in visual studio 2010?

Regards,
Asha

Using Visual Studio 2017 I do not see General in File->New->Project->Visual C++. I do however see Other so I will assume that is what you mean. When I use that to make a Makefile project I get the following:

Hi,

Support for visual studio 2010 has ended.

I suggest you could try to use Visual Studio 2017 and later. In Visual Studio 2017 and later, the Makefile project template is available when the C++ Desktop Development workload is installed.

After you create a makefile project, you can view and edit each of the build, rebuild and clean command in the Nmake page of the project's property page.

For more details I suggest you could refer to the Doc: Create a C++ makefile project

Best Regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the response,

I gone through the document.

for example :

If I am using GCC compiler for c/c++ projects then i need to compile it using the command "gcc filename.c -o filename.exe", then we will run it using the command " ./a.out" and we can clean or delete the generated exe file using the command : " rm -f filename.exe"...

In this case while generating the make file the contents are

CC=gcc

CFLAGS=-g
LDFLAGS=

SRCS=src/hello.c
OBJS = $(patsubst src/%.c,obj/%.o,$(SRCS))

.PHONY: all
all: clean build
@Echo ========== Complete ==========

.PHONY: build
build: ./obj $(OBJS)
@Echo ========== Build ==========
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS)-o a.exe $(OBJS)

.PHONY: run
run:
@Echo ========== Run ==========
./a.exe

.PHONY: clean
clean:
@Echo ========== Clean ==========
rm -f obj/*.o
rm -f a.exe

./obj:
mkdir ./obj

obj/%.o: %.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

So in the similar way what commands I need to specify in the build command line, clean command line and rebuild command line.....

Regards,
Asha.
