Windows Makefile


Summary
This topic provides a template Windows Makefile for developers to use as a starting point.

# Example Makefile for ArcEngine C++ Programming on Windows
#
# The PROGRAM macro defines the name of the program or project.  It
# allows the program name to be changed by editing in only one
# location
#
PROGRAM = basic_sample
#
# Command line parameters: Edit these parameters so that you can
# easily run the sample by typing "nmake -f Makefile.Windows run".
#
# You will need to:
# (1) Describe parameters here. ex: IN_SHAPEFILE is the input shapefile
# (2) Define parameters below this comment box.
#       ex: IN_SHAPEFILE = /mycomp/data/shapefile.shp
# (3) Add the parameters to the run target at the end of this file
#       ex: ./$(PROGRAM) $(IN_SHAPEFILE)
#
#
# The INCLUDEDIRS macro contains a list of include directories
# to pass to the compiler so it can find necessary header files.
#
# The LIBDIRS macro contains a list of library directories
# to pass to the linker so it can find necessary libraries.
#
# The LIBS macro contains a list of libraries that the the
# executable must be linked against.
#
INCLUDEDIRS = \
 /I "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0\include\CPPAPI" \
 /I "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Engine10.0\com"

LIBS =
#
# The CPPSOURCES macro contains a list of source files.
#
# The CPPOBJECTS macro converts the CPPSOURCES macro into a list
# of object files.
#
# The CPPFLAGS macro contains a list of options to be passed to
# the compiler.  Adding "-g" to this line will cause the compiler
# to add debugging information to the executable.
#
# The CPP macro defines the C++ compiler.
#
# The LINKFLAGS macro contains all of the library and library
# directory information to be passed to the linker.
#
CPPSOURCES = basic_sample.cpp        # list of source files
CPPOBJECTS = $(CPPSOURCES:.cpp=.obj) # expands to list of object files

#
# Default target: the first target is the default target.
# Just type "nmake -f Makefile.Windows" to build it.
#
all: $(PROGRAM)
#
# Link target: automatically builds its object dependencies before
# executing its link command.
#
$(PROGRAM): $(CPPOBJECTS)
 link.exe /out:$(PROGRAM) $(CPPOBJECTS) $(LINKFLAGS)
#
# Object targets: rules that define objects, their dependencies, and
# a list of commands for compilation.
#

 $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) /c basic_sample.cpp
#
# Clean target: "nmake -f Makefile.Windows clean" to remove unwanted objects and executables.
#
clean:
 del $(CPPOBJECTS) $(PROGRAM)
#
# Run target: "nmake -f Makefile.Windows run" to execute the application
# You will need to add $(VARIABLE_NAME) for any command line parameters
# that you defined earlier in this file.
#
