64-bit builds using nmake ?
I've recently downloaded an open-source project which needs to be built using nmake (which I last used about 20 years ago !!)
The project builds okay but it builds as 32-bit when I need 64-bit. I did some research on the internet and AFAICT, 64-bit builds can be achieved by using a 64-bit Command Prompt and specifying TARGET_CPU=X64 among the commands.
But where do I find the 64-bit Command Prompt?? In my Windows menu, the Visual Studio Tools entry for VS2019 offers me a Command Prompt and a Powershell - but they both produce a 32-bit build. HELP !!!!
[Edit...] Oops - I didn't look far enough! Under Visual Studio Tools there's another folder called VC and that's where the 64-bit Command Prompt is.
