Using Visual Studio C++ Express to compile classlib - fails.

[Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen]

I have now tried fiddling with Visual Studio C++ Express (free download for the time being from Microsoft, which would enable me to participate) to see if I could build classlib with it under Windows XP, but have failed so far.

 [exec] Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42
    [exec] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    [exec] cd sig

    [exec] '-Ogityb1' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    [exec] operable program or batch file.
    [exec] NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '-Ogityb1' : return code '0x1'
    [exec] Stop.

    [exec] Stop.



What would a feasible path be from here?

I made some progress however. Nmake initially complains that it cannot find an ntwin32.mak which I then put in native-src/win.IA32 as an empty file. Then win32.mak was missing - throwing liberal amount of empty win32.mak files all over made nmake happy, but then the actual compiler invocation fails: [exec] "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\nmake.exe" /NOLOGO [exec] -Ogityb1 -WX -GF -Gs -MD -Zi -Zm400 -D_DLL -D_MT -DWIN32 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 -D_WINSOCKAPI_ -DWINVER=0x0400 /IC:\Documents and Settings\TRA\workspace-harmony\Harmony\deploy\include /IC:\Documents and Settings\TRA\workspace-harmony\Harmony\deploy\jdk\include /I. /I..\..\..\modules\luni\src\main\native\include\shared /I..\..\..\modules\luni\src\main\native\include\windows -Fo..\..\shared\sig\hysig_copyright.obj ..\..\shared\sig\hysig_copyright.c [exec] NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2' The question is then where this is defined. I have worked quite a bit with gcc but am completely green with this environment.
