Well, if I just run nmake, I get an nmake error: NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option '-' The real problem here is that nmake is just so gimpy. I don't want to waste this list's time (or my time for that matter) anymore. I'll check the GNU make list. I was just hoping there was some env variable I could set or something simple.
