Hi, I am trying to understand how to build a Module developed using DEC C, C++, and VAX MACRO 32 (ported to Alpha) (three source languages). Here I have pasted my existing makefile.vms code, which is used to build. But I don't understand what utility has been used to write this makefile.vms program, is it MMS, or any third party tools? =========================== # Makefile for VMS # %include mdm_cinc:make.vms all: $(AR) obj:filefind.exe $(AR): IF F$SEARCH("$(AR).DIR") .EQS. "" THEN CREATE/DIR/NOLOG [.$(AR)] obj:main.obj: mdm_slib:main.c cc$(CFLAGS)/obj=obj: mdm_slib:main.c obj:check.obj: check.c common.d filefind.d filefind.h cc$(CFLAGS)/obj=obj: check.c obj:mcommon.obj: mcommon.c cc$(CFLAGS)/obj=obj: mcommon.c obj:stk_filefind.obj: stk_filefind.mar common.mar filefind.mar filefind_defs.mar macro/debug/obj=obj:stk_filefind common+filefind+filefind_defs+stk_filefind OBJL=mdmc_lib:libmdm.olb/lib,\ mdmc_lib:libmdmc.olb/lib,\ mdmc_lib:libmdm.olb/lib,\ mdmc_lib:libmdmc.olb/lib,\ mdmc_lib:libmdmv.olb/lib obj:filefind.exe: obj:main.obj obj:check.obj obj:mcommon.obj \ obj:stk_filefind.obj $(OBJL) cxxlink $(LFLAGS) /map=obj:filefind/exe=obj:filefind - obj:main,obj:check,obj:mcommon,obj:stk_filefind,- $(OBJL),$(LOPTIONS) filefind.mar: filefind.m mcr mdmc_bin:register "-M" filefind.m common.mar: mdm_cinc:common.m mcr mdmc_bin:register "-M" mdm_cinc:common.m copy mdm_cinc:common.mar * delete/nolog mdm_cinc:common.mar;* common.d: mdm_cinc:common.d copy mdm_cinc:common.d * filefind.d: filefind.m mcr mdmc_bin:register -h filefind.m filefind_defs.mar: filefind.defs @mdmc_bin:make_includes filefind.defs macro:ffind -s filefind.h: filefind.defs @mdmc_bin:make_includes filefind.defs C -s clean: IF F$SEARCH("OBJ:*.*") .NES.

Hi, I think there is no utility to generate this MMS file, you have to enter it manually, MMS utility is a layered product and it is available in DECSET. Regards Rama
