Created attachment 33965 [details] patch to add missing obj-file to linker command Trying to compile APR-util 1.5.4 using nmake with VS 2015 (Update 2) causes the following error when it tries to build APR-iconv (1.2.1): adobe-stdenc.obj : error LNK2011: precompiled object not linked in; image may not run As far as I can see the pch-object file is missing to be passed on to the linker command. The applied patch resolves that.
