or to see the commands as they are invoked:

make SHOW=1

You can pass make variables to tailor the build. For a list of variables:

make help

To run

make run

Windows

First open a Windows cmd prompt window and then set your Visual Studio environment variables by running vcvarsall.bat from your Visual Studio installation folder.

Then run a Windows cmd prompt window and type:

make

To Build with Visual Studio:

Open the solution file at:

projects/appweb-windows-default.sln

Then select Build -> Solution.

To run the debugger, right-click on the "appweb" project and set it as the startup project. Then modify the project properties and set the Debugging configuration properties. Set the working directory to be:

$(ProjectDir)\..\..\test
