The <filepath>makmake</filepath> tool converts project definition files into makefiles for particular platforms. The <filepath>abld</filepath> tool wraps calls to <filepath>makmake</filepath>, and can be more convenient to use than <filepath>makmake</filepath> directly. </p> <p>A project definition file has extension <filepath>.mmp</filepath>. </p> <p>Note that: </p> <ul><li id="GUID-5796376B-2834-5C3D-BF27-B987C87B6222"><p>Each statement occupies a single line. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-310510D2-B28C-5069-A98F-A19A6E7A86F3"><p>Use the C++ style comment syntax for comments. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-9AF3002F-9175-5F7E-B6A2-8443994954F1"><p>A trailing backslash is used to indicate a line continuation.
