 Still wanting this. Any chance ... ??? :-)


I don't really understand what it's good for.

DMC++'s absence of -U stands out quite a bit, and, although not terminal,
causes a 
bit of extra hassle that could well be done without. But I recognise that a 
clamouring cloud of 1 probably isn't going to change your mind. ;)

I do not know if this is of any iterest for you but there is a tool written 
in python: Bakefile which does exactly this: bakes native makefiles from a 
platform independant specification. It supports both make tools of DMC fine 
plus: VC makefile, VC project files, embeddedVC project files, Borland 
makefiles, Watcom makefiles, MinGW makefiles, GNU makefiles, autoconf, 
CBuilderX and more formats under development. I hope that could save you 
some work.

Wow. It's huge!

Mine's just a single python file, that takes a template and an XML tools file. 
Maybe when I've got time I'll play with bakefile, though. It could be really
cool.

Thanks

You're the first in about 20 years to ask for it, which is why, despite it
being a common compiler feature, I question what it's good for. (Despite
nobody being shy about asking for compiler features they need!) DMC does
have the -u switch which prevents any of the predefined macros from being
defined.
