Wildcard for files in sub-directory in NMAKE

问题:

How could one make a wildcard dependency like boot/*.inc work in NMAKE?

回答1:

This works for me, with VS 2017:

>type makefile
mytarget : boot\*.inc
        !@echo $?

>dir/b boot
one.inc
two.inc

>nmake
boot\one.inc
boot\two.inc

The on-line documentation for NMAKE provided by Microsoft is simply awful.

In contrast, the older 59-page PDF document entitled Chapter 16: Managing Projects with NMAKE is vastly superior. It appears to agree with the current online version (an errata would be nice!). But it is surprisingly hard to find via Google; two links are http://www.engr.iupui.edu/~dskim/downloadable/reference_Nmake.pdf and https://www.scribd.com/document/19344397/Managing-Projects-With-NMAKE.
