Tim,
For the first time in a very (very!!) long time I fired up my Windows 98 Microsoft 7.0 development environment, checked out the latest svn code, and ran makefract.bat.
Everything compiled, but the linker caused an nmake error:
NMAKE: FATAL ERROR U1077" 'echo' : return code '768"
I still have all my Microsoft documentation. The nmake error U1077 is not helpful, it just means that something nmake tried to invoke failed. I would think '768' is a linker error, but my documentation says there are no linker errors under 1000. Any clue?
Maybe. See if your path is set up like this: ...;c:\c700\bin;c:\masm\bin;c:\masm\binb... The MASM NMAKE may have a problem with the C code. It shouldn't, but I think I have seen this before.
You have a Windows XP development environment, right? I never attempted seriously to get that to work. I recall you sent me a CD with the compiler, which I can probably locate. I also still have the floppies also.
Yes, I compile in a Command Prompt window in XP. Didn't send a CD that I can recall. 8-))
I may try compiling Rich's code also, that would a different set of challenges.
It is. I found that all the environment variables (well, probably just the path variable made a difference) changed and I couldn't easily compile Fractint with the makefrac.bat file anymore. Jonathan
