and it almost never ends!.......... but i did manage to get to
first.exe so this is for anyone else who has the same problems.
I tried using cl.exe and i got Application failed to start
'mspdb80.dll' missing.
Seems the environment variables needed by Visual Studio were missing/
not present, the file vSvars32.bat fixes everything, there is another
file vCvars32.bat that just runs the earlier file. This wasn't the end
of it, the batch file did not work for some reason, i tried running it
in every different way. None of the env vars were actually set.
I ended up copying the "missing" dll files from my VS Install dir to
the VC\Bin, which is mentioned in some post on forums.microsoft.com,
after that i still got a link error 'some lib file missing', for that
i manually set
LIB=G:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ATLMFC\LIB;G:\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\VC\LIB;G:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\lib;G:
\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\lib;
(I'm guessing setting all the Env vars mentioned in vsvars.bat should
fix any other errors)
So finally i got first.exe created! And somehow it was terribly
exciting to see the output of the program that took all that effort!
