I have an MSVC Makefile Project in which I need to set an environment variable before running NMAKE. For x64 builds I needs to set it to one value, and for x86 builds I need to set it to something else.
So for example, when doing a build I would want to SET PLATFORM=win64 if I'm building a 64-bit compile, or SET PLATFORM=win32 if I'm building 32-bit.
There does not appear to be an option to set environment variables or add a pre-build even for makefile projects.
How do I do this?
EDIT: Running MSVC 2008
