Microsoft's "make"? No, sir, you won't be needing that nowadays. I think. Unless they run it underneath the "project settings" GUI. Which, by the way, gets better all the time: it's now a set of "generic property pages" instead of the "ad-hoc" set of tab windows the way it used to be in VC6. So now it really has no fucking idea what kind of thing you are editing. For example, it will usefully and generically allow you to edit properties of multiple configurations. That's good, since there's a shitload of configurations. Of course, the default is to edit the current configuration, so your Debug build always works but your Release build never does. So you want to add a pre#defined flag like you'd do with -D. You select "all configurations", and type in the flag. Congratulations! You've just added the flag to all configurations. Oh, and you've also whiped out all of the existing flags. Which is a pity, since there's a shitload of those flags you need to keep the multi-layered shite such as MFC alive (_AFXDLL, _AFXEXT, _AFXFUCKOFF, I don't remember. What's AFX anyway?) Of course there's no way to UNDO these changes. That's not one of your dumb editor windows you'd use to change a Makefile or some such. This, sir, is a Set of Generic Property Pages. Have a nice day.There's stuff above here
