Hi again!
I have realised that on my laptop that I am using at work there is a
nmake version 6.00.9782.0 which isn't in the version list of your
make_mvc.mak patch. I therefore definitively suggest to omit this
version list an relay solely on the MSVCVer environment variable
which should be defined since VC tool chain version 7.0. One can
force the user to define this variable with an !error directive or
one can utilize version 6.0 as standard. This may be a matter of taste.
Therefore, I suggest the patch that is attached to this email.
With kind regards
Mathias
Problem: VC8 no longer supports the /Gn processor code generation
directive, and the makefile now uses link time code
generation when not optimizing for space with an error
message.
Solution: Check version of the visual tool set and, if version is
8.0, use VC8 specific optimization options.
