Hi how to call MAKE file from visual studio 6.0
Example - in some project already included make file has directives to compile and create database in FastObject 7.9-
I found in this project's Proxies.dsp file the following :
CFG=Proxies - Win32 Debug
!MESSAGE This is not a valid makefile. To build this project using NMAKE,
!MESSAGE use the Export Makefile command and run
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE NMAKE /f "Proxies.mak".
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE You can specify a configuration when running NMAKE
!MESSAGE by defining the macro CFG on the command line. For example:
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE NMAKE /f "Proxies.mak" CFG="Proxies - Win32 Debug"
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE Possible choices for configuration are:
!MESSAGE
!MESSAGE "Proxies - Win32 Debug" (based on "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library")
!MESSAGE "Proxies - Win32 Release MinSize" (based on "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library")
!MESSAGE "Proxies - Win32 Release MinDependency" (based on "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library")
!MESSAGE "Proxies - Win32 Unicode Release MinSize" (based on "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library")
!MESSAGE "Proxies - Win32 Unicode Release MinDependency" (based on "Win32 (x86) Dynamic-Link Library")
!MESSAGE

but in Settings of project I didn't succeed to find this calling or any reference to make
Can you please help?

You can do it via in setting "command line" tab of C++ or the linker input in the "run after build" option.
