This class provides a text editor specialized for editing
makefiles.
It is invoked automatically when opening any file with the
name makefile
, Makefile
, or any file with the
.mk
extension or
.vc
extension in its name.
The EditMake class is derived from the
EditProgram class, and
therefore inherits all of its features.
It provides additional features
for editing Makefile
source code.
It colors variables, referenced variables, includes, and rules.
It disables the indenting features of the base class, so
tabs are inserted by using the Tab
key, as normal.
In the Special
menu, the Generate VC Makefile
menu choice will create a
Microsoft Visual C++ format
nmake
file.
Note that the conversion process is not perfect,
but some of the common tasks, such as conversion to
DOS style pathnames, are handled.
