c++.idde - Automated makefile creation

Hello,

Is there some way to generate the project makefile created by the integrated
IDDE make from the command line? I am trying to set up an automated build
system, but to do this from a script I generally need to check out all
source files and then run make on them. Is it possible to retrieve the
makefile without maintaining it separately from the project file?

Best regards,

Dimitri

Hi, I know the idde creates a .mak file with the project name automatically (I think upon building the project). What I need is a way to create this .mak file without invoking the IDDE, e.g. from the command line, so that I can make a script for automatic builds. Thanks, Dimitri P.S. Sorry roland I replied to your e-mail by mistake.

Can I ask a dumb question?

The .MAK file that is generated by the IDE, should that be run with
"Make" or "Smake"?  I tried both and neither seemed to work well.
Probably a "PEBKAC" error (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair).

Sure!

Um, that's actually quite a good question, not dumb at all. smake is the answer.

Yes, smake works. Thanks!
