# vcpkg_build_nmake
The latest version of this document lives in the [vcpkg repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/docs/maintainers/vcpkg_build_nmake.md).
Build a msvc makefile project.
## Usage:
```cmake
vcpkg_build_nmake(
SOURCE_PATH <${SOURCE_PATH}>
[NO_DEBUG]
[ENABLE_INSTALL]
[TARGET <all>]
[PROJECT_SUBPATH <${SUBPATH}>]
[PROJECT_NAME <${MAKEFILE_NAME}>]
[PRERUN_SHELL <${SHELL_PATH}>]
[PRERUN_SHELL_DEBUG <${SHELL_PATH}>]
[PRERUN_SHELL_RELEASE <${SHELL_PATH}>]
[OPTIONS <-DUSE_THIS_IN_ALL_BUILDS=1>...]
[OPTIONS_RELEASE <-DOPTIMIZE=1>...]
[OPTIONS_DEBUG <-DDEBUGGABLE=1>...]
[TARGET <target>])
```
## Parameters
### SOURCE_PATH
Specifies the directory containing the source files.
By convention, this is usually set in the portfile as the variable `SOURCE_PATH`.
### PROJECT_SUBPATH
Specifies the sub directory containing the `makefile.vc`/`makefile.mak`/`makefile.msvc` or other msvc makefile.
### PROJECT_NAME
Specifies the name of msvc makefile name.
Default is `makefile.vc`
### ENABLE_INSTALL
Install binaries after build.
### PRERUN_SHELL
Script that needs to be called before build
### PRERUN_SHELL_DEBUG
Script that needs to be called before debug build
### PRERUN_SHELL_RELEASE
Script that needs to be called before release build
### OPTIONS
Additional options passed to generate during the generation.
### OPTIONS_RELEASE
Additional options passed to generate during the Release generation. These are in addition to `OPTIONS`.
### OPTIONS_DEBUG
Additional options passed to generate during the Debug generation. These are in addition to `OPTIONS`.
### TARGET
The target passed to the nmake build command (`nmake/nmake install`). If not specified, no target will
be passed.
## Notes:
You can use the alias [`vcpkg_install_nmake()`](vcpkg_install_nmake.md) function if your makefile supports the
"install" target
