NMake Property Page

The NMake property page lets you specify build settings for Makefile projects. (NMAKE is the Microsoft implementation of Make.)

For more information about Makefile projects, see Creating a Makefile Project. For non-Windows Makefile projects, see Makefile Project Properties (Linux C++), General Project Properties (Android C++ Makefile) or NMake Properties (Android C++).

The property page contains the following properties:

General

• Build Command Line

  Specifies the command to be run when Build is clicked on the Build menu.

• Rebuild All Command Line

  Specifies the command to be run when Rebuild All is clicked on the Build menu.

• Clean Command Line

  Specifies the command to be run when Clean is clicked on the Build menu.

• Output

  Specifies the name of the file that will contain the output for the command line. By default, this file name is based on the project name.

IntelliSense

• Preprocessor Definitions

  Specifies any preprocessor definitions that the source files use. The default value is determined by the current platform and configuration.

• Include Search Path

  Specifies the directories where the compiler searches for include files.

• Forced Includes

  Specifies files that the preprocessor automatically processes even if they aren't included in the project files.

• Assembly Search Path

  Specifies the directories where the .NET Framework searches when it resolves .NET assemblies.

• Forced Using Assemblies

  Specifies assemblies that the .NET Framework automatically processes.

• Additional Options

  Specifies any extra compiler switches for IntelliSense to use when it parses C++ files.
