Eclipse with CDT

[Nis]

Hi all,

Well, I browsed thru 1 of the threads on this forums which says "using eclipse", but culdn't really find answer to what i wanted.

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.
