I got a makefile for a c# application. I am trying to run it from visual studio command prompt. I got error with this row: CSHARP_FLAGS+=/platform:x86

Answer 1

The makefile you are looking at appears to be a GNU make makefile. You cannot use it with nmake. You'll have to install GNU make if you want to use this makefile, or else write an nmake makefile to use with nmake.
