[Ctk-developers] getting things to work in windows

Tue Jan 18 02:53:40 UTC 2011

Mark,

I just use nmake to compile everything.  I never use project files in the 
IDE,
which is why I open a visual studio command prompt.  I run as the sole
user: admin, and I also turn off the annoying UAC.  Maybe that has something
to do with your error.  You could also try the basic
   configure -platform win32-msvc2008
which will give you dsp and proj files to build in the IDE (debug and 
release)
and maybe that would bypass the error.

Hi Dean,

I followed your directions:
>> configure -debug -no-dsp -no-vcproj -platform win32-msvc2008
>>
>> then wait a long time, then type "nmake" and wait even longer
>>

and got this error:

mt.exe : general error c101008d: Failed to write the updated manifest
to the resource of file "release\updater.exe". Access is denied.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe"' : return code '0x1f'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

This is really very strange, that everything would just end up so
broken.  Are you running as administrator or something similar?

Thanks,
Mark
