Use recursion macros to call NMAKE recursively. Recursive sessions inherit command-line and environment-variable macros and Tools.ini information. They do not inherit makefile-defined inference rules or .SUFFIXES and .PRECIOUS specifications. To pass macros to a recursive NMAKE session, either set an environment variable with SET before the recursive call, define a macro in the command for the recursive call, or define a macro in Tools.ini.
| Macro |
Definition |
| MAKE |
Command used originally to invoke NMAKE.
The $(MAKE) macro gives the full path to nmake.exe. |
| MAKEDIR |
Current directory when NMAKE was invoked. |
| MAKEFLAGS |
Options currently in effect. Use as /$(MAKEFLAGS). Note, /F is not included. |
