makefile(7) fatal error

[nosarious]

This looks so intriguing, but I have no clue how to actually use it. yet.

I am using Windows 10 and Visual Studio 17, with the command prompt set up.

When I do nmake -f Makefile I get the error:

makefile(7) : fatal error U1000: syntax error : ')' missing in macro invocation

Could you ... let me know the specifics of your setup where everything is working properly? I may have missed some important doohickey in my setup.

Thank you.

I'm building on various Linux flavors and haven't tried building on Windows, but it is likely an issue with its make tool compared to gmake. Line 7 is

-Wp,-MMD,$(dir $@).$(notdir $@).d

Which uses a gcc extension to generate dependency files at compilation time. You can delete that line without causing other problems (other than partial rebuilds won't work).

That should produce a few executables, including hiddenwire, which now has command line options and if you run hiddenwire --help it will show you the options. #3 is a bug that it only reads (binary) stl files from stdin, not from the file on the command line.
