Name = main
$ (Name) .exe: $ (name) .Obj
$ (Name) .Obj: $ (name) .cpp
Important:
EXE is behind, OBJ is behind. Because NMAKE judge $ (name) .Obj, if not the latest, update the OBJ, then create EXE. Here, the semicolon is called "Target", named "dependent" after the semicolon. This is not the simplest, here is used here. The reference to the macro is $ (). If the macro is a single character, it can not be added ().
Name = main
$ (Name) .exe: $ (name) .Obj
@echo "Link EXE IS OK"
$ (Name) .Obj: $ (name) .cpp
Added @echo "link exe is ok", mainly explaining @ of the usage: do not display itself, so it is displayed:
Link EXE IS OK
Instead of
Echo "Link EX IS OK"
"Link EXE IS OK"
If you exchange $ (Name) .Obj: $ (name) .cpp and $ (name) .exe: $ (name). Obj location, ie
$ (Name) .Obj: $ (name) .cpp
$ (Name) .exe: $ (name) .Obj
EXE will not be compiled, it seems that Nmake only performs the first line, and then do other than the dependency.
