NMAKE Uses "makefile " Ignoring Filename on Command Line

MS-DOS

When using NMAKE, you normally put the makefile's name on the command

line as follows:

NMAKE test.mak

Although this works correctly for most cases, if there is a file named

"makefile." in the current working directory, NMAKE uses that file

instead of the one specified on the command line.

To be sure NMAKE uses the makefile specified on the command line, you

must have a /F switch before the makefile name as follows:

NMAKE /F test.mak

This is expected behavior, as documented on Page 156 of the "Microsoft

QuickC ToolKit" manual for QuickC Version 2.00.
