Re: [QStat-devx] Current cvs version total broken

[Steve J. <st...@qs...>]

I suggest renaming the current Makefile to Makefile.win
and rename GNUMakefile to Makefile.

99% of windows users do not compile qstat, they use a pre-built binary.  So
requiring them to use a special build command is ok:  nmake -f Makefile.win

The GNUMakefile uses constructs not supported by old-school make.  However,
gmake is universal now (even ships on most commercial unixes) so making that a
requirement for compiling qstat is fine.

We'll still need to keep two makefiles in-sync.  Looks like Steven is
reorganizing the code; please try to update the windows makefile whenever the
unix makefile is updated.

And don't forget to update COMPILE.txt

Sourceforge provides shell access to a compile farm.  This can be used to
validate changes against other platforms.  Don't know if they have a windows
compile target.  MS provides the VC++ command line compile tools for free now:
