- I am a new user to VC++ and just started using the 4.0 version.
- But I noticed something very wierd...
- i.e. When I tried to open a makefile created by the "Project Workspace",
- nothing happend. The IDE didn't open the makefile, no error message.
- Just nothing happened. I finally resorted to using notepad to open the
- "Gigantic" makefile they created for me. Looks like the IDE put
- very rules into the makefile to make it so huge.
-
- Is it me or is Microsoft trying to block you from understanding,
- writing or messing with their Makefiles?
-
- P.S. By the way, since I am more familiar with emacs. Can someone
- tell me how to add abbreviation to the VC++ IDE?
- E.g., I want to type "cmb " and a whole 10 line comment block
- substitutes "cmb ", like what I defined in .emacs.
