[Oorexx-devel] Building on Windows, buildorx.bat

[Mark M. <mie...@ac...>]

When building on Windows, the build fails when it goes to build the API
samples if you don't have your environment INCLUDE variable set such
that the compiler can find rexx.h:


Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 6.00.8168.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved.

	cl callrxnt.c  /nologo /D:_X86_ /DWIN32 /W3 -c -G3 /I.
callrxnt.c
callrxnt.c(55) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'rexx.h': No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

It's easy enough to fix of course.  But, buildorx.bat currently reads
this way:


REM *** API samples
REM
@ECHO Building API Samples..
set LIB=%LIB%;%OR_OUTDIR%
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%OR_OUTDIR%
rem set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%OR_OUTDIR%;%OR_ORYXAWSRC%

%OR_ORYXAWSRC% points to the correct location for rexx.h in the source
tree.  Is there a reason why that set statement is commented out?

If someone goes to build on Windows for the first time and did not
already have Object or Open Object REXX installed, it is likely that the
build will fail at this point.

Is there some problem with using the second 'set INCLUDE' instead of the
first?
