Search Paths for Dependents
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at Search Paths for Dependents.
Each dependent has an optional search path, specified as follows:
Syntax
{directory[;directory...]}dependent
Remarks
NMAKE looks for a dependent first in the current directory, and then in directories in the order specified. A macro can specify part or all of a search path. Enclose directory names in braces ({ }); separate multiple directories with a semicolon (;). No spaces or tabs are allowed.
