Compile Errors w/ VC7.1

[Henry Lafleur]

I am getting compile errors with VC7 (version reported 13.10.3077):

C:\Program Files\SqlDump\sources>nmake

So I modify my include path and get this:

C:\Program Files\SqlDump\sources>nmake

According to the cl documentation, /Tp getpw.c should work, but if I modify this line and put /Tp getpw.c right after cl, it works. (I manually compiled getopts, that's why getpw is being compiled.)

I'll try to modify the make file for now, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Henry.

I was able to compile by making the following changes:

$(CC) /Tp $< $(CFLAGS) $(CC_OUT)$@

by putting /Tp $< first, it worked. But, it errored out on each compile because it could not resolve symbols. I just kept running nmake over and over again. It is almost as if each command line was too long for cl.exe to process and options were getting dropped.

Also, the rc line was changes as follows (as if it was too long with the include paths):

rc /r /fosqldumpw.res sqldumpw.rc

After that, I ran nmake over and over again until the executable was built.

If anyone can tell me what is wrong here, that would be appreciated. It sucks that VC7 can't handle a fairly long path and/or command line.

Thanks,

Henry.
