Build Guides confusing
Last modified: 2004-03-31 21:16:32 UTC
Build guides about Microsoft Assembly compiler is not correct. Extra requirements for MS Visual C++ .net 2002: A Microsoft Assembly compiler. It is already installed to the same directory where the compiler is located (look for ML.EXE and ML.ERR). If you use the -- with-cl-home= configure option you also have to use the --with-asm-home= option pointing to the same location. It say look for ML.EXE and ML.ERR. The locations of ml.exe is vc7/bin And --with-cl-home= configure option you also have to use the --with-asm-home= option pointing to the same location. This is not correct as it makes configure fail with error configure: error: You need a mspdb?0.dll, make sure it's in the path or use -- with-mspdb-path How about change to use --with-cl-home= pointing to VS.netDirectory/vc7 and --with-asm-home= pointing to VS.netDirectory/vc7/bin and also please add Win xp and notes that cygwin 1.5.6 and 1.5.7 having problems. Thanks
Done.
