I spent most of today trying to get parrot build on winxp with MS VC 7.1, with little success. Issues range from ICU build, CONST_STRING __LINE__ expansion madness to nmake-Makefile problems. Your problem seems to be related to the %.str: %.c inference rule, which nmake doesn't understand. For nmake, this should read .c.str: $(PERL) build_tools\c2str.pl $< > $@ I am currently stuck with some CONST_STRING issues, for which VC 7.1 complains with: src\interpreter.c(1309) : warning C4013: '_CONST_STRING_' undefined; assuming extern returning int Anyone managed to get around this?
