NMAKE predefines several macros. The first six macros below return
one or more file specifications for the files in the target/dependent
line of a description block. Except where noted, the file specification
includes the path of the file, the base filename, and the filename
extension.
- Macro
- Value
- $@
- The specification of the target file.
- $*
- The base name (without extension) of the target file. Path
information is also returned if the path was specified as part of
the target filename. This macro cannot be used in a dependent list.
- $**
- The specifications of the dependent files.
- $?
- The specifications for only those dependent files that are
out-of-date with respect to the targets.
- $<
- The specification of a single dependent file that is out-of-date
with respect to the targets. This macro is used only in inference
rules.
- $$@
- The file specification of the target that NMAKE is currently
evaluating. This is a dynamic dependency parameter, used only in
dependent lists.
- $(AS)
- The string MASM, which is the command to run the Macro Assembler (MASM).
You can redefine this macro to use a different command.
- $(MAKE)
- The command name used to run NMAKE. This macro is used to
invoke NMAKE recursively. If you redefine this macro, NMAKE issues
a warning message.
NMAKE executes the command line in which $(MAKE) appears, even
if the display commands (/N) option is on.
- $(MAKEFLAGS)
- The NMAKE options currently in effect. You cannot redefine
this macro.
The special macros $** and $$@ are the only exceptions to the
rule that macro names longer than one character must be enclosed
in parentheses.
You can append characters to any of the first six macros in this
list to modify the meaning of the macro. However, you cannot use
macro substitutions in these macros.
