I want to know how it is possible to use 'nmake' with managed make project in eclipse. I tried setting Project -> Properties -> C/C++ build -> Build setting ->build command = nmake.exe (with full path).
I have the same path set in my PATH variable also.

But, when I rebuild the project,it is not able to parse the makefile. Doesn't seem to recognize '=' in ROOT := ..

Also, for compilation, I am using Visual Studio.NET2003, cl.exe and for linking link.exe, which i configure here, Project -> Properties -> C/C++ build -> Tool setting.

Everything works fine when I use, MinGW, but I have a client who wants to make use of Visual Studio compiler, I wonder if it is possible thru eclipse.

Any guidance would highly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Nisarg.
The using eclipse thread is specifically about using eclipse for programming the FIRST Robotics Controller. This doesn't really belong in this forum, but to answer your question, I believe that you would need to write your own makefile generator, because the makefile generator included in the CDT is only supposed to work with GNU make or its equivalents.
