The setup: Windows XP MS VisualStudio 2003 Sybase SQL Anywhere 9 Embedded SQL (I know...but it's a really old project)
This project is setup like so many others I have encountered here. The SQL precompiler processes a SQC file to generate a CPP file which is then compiled into an OBJ and finally linked into part of the DLL.
When using the GUI dev environment, there is no problem. The solution builds successfully every time, every machine.
When building from the command-line, the results seem to depend on the machine/environment. In fact, I was able to successfully compile the project on the command-line successfully, initially. Now, I too am having issues.
I have quadruple checked the paths. And the settings. It looks just like any other project with this type of setup. The paths are valid. I have admin rights to the entire system. The generated file is not read-only or checked-in to the RCS. When I clean, the files are removed including the CPP. The CPP is not excluded from the build in the project.
From what I have found, the generated CPP file is created and located where it should be but doesn't get added to the compiler response file. So the CPP is never built. But the linker response file contains the OBJ in its listing. Since the file does not exist because it was not compiled, it fails to link.
I've run out of ideas on what else could cause this issue.
The command:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\..\ide\devenv.com" C:\workspaces\Borg\Main\_build\..\BioID\BioID.sln /build Release /out C:\workspaces\Borg\Main\_build\..\_build\output\visualstudio.log
results in the following BuildLog.htm. The paths are exactly as defined by our build script using nant so I can recreate the problem at will directly.
