What do I need to do ? MSDEV use its internal nmake which differ from nmake.exe in some points. So a makefile generated by MSDEV don't always works with nmake.exe ...

Show them that MSDEV store the letter of the drive in the project space, thus a file which is on a disk on the network mounted as drive K: must always be on drive K: It is stupid. cl.exe and nmake.exe accept network drive as \\host\foo\bar ... so there are not problems with makefiles "hand-made".
