 Reporter:  scook       |       Owner:  geos-devel@…                   
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new                            
 Priority:  trivial     |   Milestone:  3.3.5                          
Component:  Default     |     Version:  svn-trunk                      
 Severity:  Unassigned  |    Keywords:  nmake, Window 8 Release Preview
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Steps to reproduce error:
 1) Perform svn-checkout of http://svn.osgeo.org/geos/trunk to a local
 folder
 2) Open VS2012 x86 Native Tools command prompt
 3) Change directory to local folder where files were downloaded to in step
 1
 4) Run "nmake /f makefile.vc MSVC_VER=1700"

 Receive the following error:
 **********************************************************************
 *** GEOS Build Configuration ***
 *** Setting BUILD_DEBUG NO
 *** Setting ENABLE_INLINE NO
 *** Setting BUILD_BATCH NO
 *** Cannot determined Visual C++ version
 .\nmake.opt(102) : fatal error U1050: *** Aborting make job
 Stop.

 Steps to fix bug:
 1) Update nmake.opt by inserting the following at line 95 (between the
 lines that read "GEOS_MSC = 1700" and "!ELSE"):

 !ELSEIF "$(_NMAKE_VER)" == "11.00.50522.1"
 GEOS_MSVC = 11.0
 GEOS_MSC = 1700
