Trouble with compiling 4.4.2 under MSVC++

[Jacob Delfos]

Hi Donnie,

I've been compiling mapserver last Friday, and at some stage ran into
that same error. I *think* I resolved it by doing a clean build (or by
manually removing all newly created .obj and .lib files). I was using
the MS SDK's to compile.

If that doesn't solve it, I guess try checking if the path where
mapserver_i.lib is created, exists in your LIB path (check your LIB path
settings in the batchfile, if using one. I have had to modify it).

Also, be careful with using backslashes in paths. In some rare
situations, they are treated as special 'escape' characters. I tend to
change them to forward slashes (which the VC compiler seems to handle
just fine) and I try to make sure there are no spaces in my paths.

regards,

Jacob

I am trying to compile MS 4.4.2 under MSVC++ and I get the following
output from nmake /f makefile.vc

Stop.





Anyone have any clues? I think all the deps are OK, I don’t know why
this error occurs, but I can’t get past it…



TIA,

Donnie
