c++.command-line - smake fails to parse paths containing '-'

reply "Bruce Dodson" <bruce_dodson hotmail.com> writes:
I have a makefile originally written for Microsoft's nmake
that I am trying to use with smake.  It fails on the
following rules:

{..\lua-5.0\src}.c.obj:
 $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c $<
{..\lua-5.0\src\lib}.c.obj:
 $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c $<

It doesn't like the - in the directory name: if I change the
path to just lua50 (and rename the directory) then it works
fine.  However, this is an incompatibility with nmake that
might be easy to fix.

I tested a little further and found that, even though the
makefile parses after changing the path from lua-5.0 to
lua50, it still isn't able to compile the lua source files.
Guess smake doesn't process the {} rules exactly the same
way as the Microsoft and Borland makes do.  So, I'll just
keep using the Borland make with the dm compiler; it'll be
fine.

Anyway the problem with '-' still remains, even though it
doesn't matter to me personally.

Bruce

This isnt related to Scite is it ? They are adding LUA scripting options.

Yes, that's what it's for.  (Write me for more info, or to
