Hi.
I am working on an nmakefile such that it picks up all files from the dir
.But,this dir had .c,.sh .tpt files.I cannot hardcode the .c files.But,i
notices if i hardcode :
wizcopy.c as wizcopy and do a build then the executable is generated.
So,basically,i need to get the *.c files copied without the .c

Please let me if u have any idea how this can be done in nmake....
none of the shell commands will work..

Regards,
SK

It's not entirely clear what you want. If you're saying that each
file in *.c has the code for a complete program, which should be named
after the stem of the source file name, then you can use this rule:

% : %.c

[This should supersede my previous article, but my news server doesn't
seem to like superseding. Aargh.]
