MS Free compiler

[Arnold W. <awi...@te...>]

Hello Salvador,

I got a chance to work some more with the free compiler tests.

After downloading the Sep 12 snapshot etc. I found the following:

In tvision:

invoking nmake -f Makefile.nmk
only compiled mlink.c

going to makes and trying
       nmake MKF_EXT=".nmk" -f librhtv.bmk
did nothing more, but
       nmake MKF_EXT=".nmk" -f librhtv.bmk librhtv.lib
did compile the library

But when I try to compile setedit, all it compiles is infview - and it 
seems to run when I load it.

When I modify Makefile.bcc as:
editor: libs
    -cd makes
    $(MAKE) MKF_EXT="$(MKF_EXT)" DEBUG="$(DEBUG)" -f editor.bmk all
    -cd ..

It finally compiles the editor code, but at the end I get this error
..............
  Creating library editor.lib and object editor.exp
pcre.lib(study.o) : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _pcre_malloc

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"I:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform 
SDK\Bin\nmake.e

Stop.

Hope this make sense to you - I'm not all that familiar with nmake 
because I usually use another make utility, so I'm guessing a lot.
