i've tryed to use as following:

USAGE: SlnToMake.exe [-u (unix mode)|-w (windows mode)] [-t (no project 
targets)] filename.sln

but, specifing only filename.sln
<
C:\net\IMAServer\IMAserver>make -w IMAserver.sln
!if !defined(TARGET)
!error You must provide TARGET when making
!endif

CSC=csc
CSCFLAGS=/nologo

!if defined(RELEASE)
CSCFLAGS=$(CSCFLAGS) /optimize+ /d:TRACE
!else
CSCFLAGS=$(CSCFLAGS) /debug+ /d:TRACE,DEBUG
!endif


# common targets

all:

clean:


# project names as targets
 >
I think I have to specify a 'target', but HOW?
thx
