Question

nmake.exe, a Microsoft Windows port of make, used to be available for download at the Microsoft knowledge base servers. They've since taken the article down, and I don't know where I can reliably get a standalone version of nmake.exe. I would use a copy from one of the Microsoft Visual Studio development platforms, but I worry that I'll be forgetting to include some spare DLL file.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The original download page and file are stored on Web Archive

OTHER TIPS

I am pretty sure you can't. It's included with Visual Studio these days. You'll find it in the vc/bin subdirectory. Its only non-standard dependency is the DLL version of the CRT, like msvcrt90.dll for the nmake.exe version included with Visual Studio 2008.

There is opensource clone of nmake: https://wiki.qt.io/Jom#Download_the_binary_package enter image description here
