+To build this tool you first need to install Visaul C++ Studio .NET 2003.
+
+Open the mhmake.sln file in Visual Studio and compile for Debug and for
+Release.
+2 executables are generated by this process:
+- Release\mhmake.exe : gnu make compatible make program with some specific
+ extension is make the build process faster.
+
+- Debug\mhmake_dbg.exe : Has the same functionality but does extra
+ error checking on makefiles and has extra debugging options. This one
+ is advised to be used when creating makefiles. When the makefiles are
+ fully debugging mhmake.exe is a better choise because here the build
+ process will be faster. mhmake.exe is more likely to crash when badly
+ written makefiles are passed as input.
