Please help, I am following a microsoft sample to build a dll, the
instruction like this:

To build the interop

1. From a command prompt, run \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat.

2. Run nmake.exe from the directory of the interop
(\ManagedSinksWP\Interop).

To build the wrappers

.....





I find the following files under directory interop :

makefile
Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.EventInterop.diff
Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.EventInterop.idl
Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.EventInterop.snk
patch.exe
wrappermailmsgprops.h

I am not sure how can I do to build the interop dll, does it use manage c++?
there is not nmake.exe file, what should I do?

Thanks!
 
Just do it the way you are told to do it. The bat file sets up a bunch of
environment variables and adjust the %PATH% environment variable. Now if you
type nmake.exe it will be in your path. Nmake.exe will look at your current
directory, will find the makefile and do whatever this file tells nmake to
do.

The whole stuff is to be launched from a command window.
