I saw a bunch of posts about people converting DSW's and nmake makefiles to
normal makefiles.  Is that stuff done yet? :) I'm wondering because I just got
the DMC CD and there are lots of things in the "samples" directory that seem to
require newish microsoft tools.  It's kind of funny that there doesn't seem to
be any way to build these samples that are included with the CD. The blurb about
smake on the website is that it's compatable with nmake, but it seems that's
only true of much older versions of nmake.

I suppose that would be fine if I had VC++ installed, but I'm kind of avoiding
it.  I can afford $100 for Visual C++ .NET Standard to get nmake and such,
hoping that DM's cl.exe proxy is a drop-in replacement for MS's compiler since
I'll be tempted to use the VC++ IDE if I pay good money for it.  I know I'm
committing blasphemy here, but I'm so confused :) Well, at least I draw the line
at paying over a grand for Visual Studio.

The samples should compile as is with the tools on the CD.

I don't doubt they'll compile once the makefiles are corrected.  At the moment
each makefile isn't finding the directories in DIRLIST because it's assuming
each directory is a subdirectory.  I'll figure it out tomorrow :)

So smake really is fully compatible with recent versions of nmake?  That would
be sweet.

Thanks, sorry to seem irate.

No, but it is compatible with the makefiles in the samples.

Then somewhat in the canonical installation is missing:
