You have to execute vcvars32.bat yourself before running nmake in the same command processor session. Here is a batch file I run: set path=%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32;%SYSTEMROOT% call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\vcvars32.bat" c: cd "\Utilities\Boost Libraries\boost_1_28_0\libs\regex\build" nmake -fvc6.mak > out.txt "fauzia_sharmeen" <fauzia_sharmeen@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:ahsg6t+mr2j@eGroups.com...
Hi,
After downloading and unzipping the Regex library with the -d option, I ran nmake -fvc6.mak on the command prompt.However, I am getting an error message saying "Variable MSVCDIR not set".
I checked the VcVars32.bat file to verify that the variable MSVCDIR has been set properly.
Any ideas/suggestions about what I am doing wrong would be most appreciated.
