Hi all …

 

I’m sorry if this question seems silly or is posted 4000 a day but ….

 

I read the dev guide and inferred that under Win32 using nmake (with VC6), I could (without installing any other tools) invoke:

 

nmake –f makefile.nmake distclean

 

What happens is

 

        rm -f gtk2.tmp/*.*

'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'rm' : return code '0x1'

Stop.

 

rm sounds very unix to me … as does the “/”

 

I do like a challenge but didn’t expect to fail so soon.

Is there a different makefile for Windows?

Any hints will be gratefully received…

 

TIA

Dave
