Summary:
SYMPTOMS
When running the batch file STARTUP.BAT that comes with Microsoft C
versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax, you may receive the following error:
U1073: don't know how to make 'stdio.h'.
CAUSE
This is actually an NMAKE error and may be the result of having
more than one search path for the INCLUDE environment variable, as
shown in the following example:
include=c:\c600\include;c:\masm\include
Because batch files cannot parse out separate paths for environment
variables, it is necessary to have only one INCLUDE path specified.
This allows the filename to be included to be appended to the end
of that path.
RESOLUTION
To correct the problem, only one search path should be used, as in
the following example:
include=c:\c600\include
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in C versions 6.0,
6.0a, and 6.0ax. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
