Question : running a batch file  before compilation

I have an old project with a makefile.
I try running it from the developer.
I used to run a batch file that sets all environment vars (like include,path lib etc...).
How can I tell the developer to first run this batch ? or how can I put a directive in the make file to that ?
 Thanks

Answer : running a batch file  before compilation

In your batch file, you must set some environment variables. for instance:

in you batch file which must be called before the make file, set some environment variables.
(i.e MyBatch.bat)
set MYCFG=My Config has been setted.
set INCLUDE=...
set LIB=...

then in your make file,
# check if the MyBatch.bat has been runed.
!IF "$(MYCFG)" != ""
.....
# do something
other command in your make file
....
!ELSE
!MESSAGE You should first run MyBatch.bat
!ENDIF

Good Luck.
