Summary:

SYMPTOMS

Two of the sample makefiles, GRDEMO.MAK and CHRTDEMO.MAK, which are

distributed with C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax, do not contain

the data needed to generate browse information. If you try to

generate browse information in the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB)

with either of these files by selecting the Browse Options function

from the Options menu and activating Generate Browse Information

and then recompiling, the Browse menu options will still not be

available.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the information that would normally

invoke PWBRMAKE to build the browser database is not included in

these makefiles.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem:

1. Use PWB to set your own program list with a new name.

2. Enter the same filenames that are contained in the corresponding

makefile that you are replacing.

3. Perform a Rebuild All.

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.
