[news.eclipse.tools] External Tool Setup: nmake

["Christopher H. Laco" <chrislaco@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I just started using Eclipse about 2 weeks ago after the 
curiousity finally got to me. :-) I love it so far, esp the CVS integration.

I'm currently doing mostly Perl programming, and with the latest EPIC 
plugin, everything runs smoothly.

However, I've been trying to setup nmake under windows as an external 
tool without much luck. All variables aside, if I set the app path to 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Nmake.exe, the working directoy to the full path of 
the current project, and the arguments to 'test', and choose Run, no 
output is displayed in the Console window. Not only that, but nmake.exe 
itself it gets copied ito the root of the project directory.

Has anyone been able to get this working smoothly?

Thanks,
-=Chris
