Coming back to this ticket.
Kevin, would you please check the version of nmake.exe that you are
using in your old and new build environments?
I would like you to confirm that in your old environment you were using
nmake.exe (version 7.x) and that in your new environment you are now
using the VS 2005 nmake.exe (version 8.x). I would also like you to
confirm which Platform SDK you are using because the XP SP2 Platform SDK
which is the one we are still building with includes the version 7.x
nmake.exe.
The version 8.x nmake.exe appears to favor executables over shell
commands. As a result, using "mkdir" instead of "md" in the Makefile as
the command for creating directory trees fails when the Cygwin mkdir.exe
is present in the PATH.
The change I would therefore recommend is to modify the
MKDIR=mkdir
RMDIR=rmdir
macros in the Makefiles to be
MKDIR=md
RMDIR=rd
as this will execute the shell version of the command in all cases.
