The makefile for nmake

[Erik Hensema <erik dot hensema at group2000 dot nl>]

Hi,

I see my version of the makefile for MS nmake is to be included in the new
snapshot, but it contains an error:

[...]
pthread.dll: $(OBJ) pthread.def	
	cl /LDd /Zi *.obj /Fepthread.dll \
	pthread.def \		
	/link /nodefaultlib:libcmt \		
	msvcrt.lib 

This links the DLL to msvcrt.lib. The last two lines can be replaced by the
/MD switch, which does the same.

.c.obj::
	cl /W3 /MT /nologo /Yd /Zi /I. \
		/D_WIN32_WINNT=0x400 \
		/DSTDCALL=_stdcall \
		-c $<

This links to libcmt.lib using /MT (yes, AFAIK even during a compile! in any
case, the /MT switch is inconsistent which the link command above). 

Libcmt is the statically linked thread-safe c-lib, and msvcrt.lib is the
dynamically linked thread-safe c-lib. Since using a DLL will save memory (it
can be shared between processes static libs CAN'T be shared), i suggest
using msvcrt. I've been using it with pthreads-win32 for some months now
without any glich.

Also, the link command includes "*.obj" which should be "$(OBJ)". 

Here's the diff:

<               pthread.def \

<               msvcrt.lib

<       cl /W3 /MT /nologo /Yd /Zi /I. \

>       cl /W3 /MD /nologo /Yd /Zi /I. \
