Question:

What modifications must I make to a make file generated by QuickC
Version 2.00 so that I can run NMAKE on it and use my Microsoft C
Version 5.10?

Response:

Only a few modifications must be made to allow a make file generated
by QuickC to invoke C Version 5.10. The following three items need to
be changed:

1. Change the CC macro from qcl to cl. To do this, locate the
   following line in the make file generated by QuickC and change qcl
   to cl:

      CC=qcl

2. Take out references to ilink. The ilink references are embedded
   into your make file if you have the ilink option turned on in your
   environment. The following line in the make file

      ilink -a -e "link $(LFLAGS) @$(PROJ).crf" $(PROG)

   must be changed to the following:

      link "$(LFGLAGS) @$(PROJ).crf" $(PROG)

3. Remove any compiler switches in the make file that cl will not
   recognize. To eliminate this problem, turn off incremental compile
   in the QuickC environment prior to making the make file.
