| Description | build broken on w3 (Windows) with Visual C++ 7.0 Bruce Mitchener reported a slew of Windows build failures [Mitchener]. Many of these applied equally to VC++ 6.0, and are covered by job001366. The remaining failures -- covered here -- only occur with VC++ 7.0. RHSK 2006-04-10 I believe that the default "all" build: nmake /f w3i3mv.nmk does not work with Visual C++ 7.0. Some of the failures are while building "mps.lib"; there is no simple workaround. |
| Analysis | RHSK 2006-04-10 Currently I can't access a machine with VC++ 7.0. I have attempted speculative fixes of the problems in [Mitchener]. I have tested these on VC++ 6.0 only, and left this issue "open" until I can check that it builds under VC++ 7.0. |
