Summary:
When NMAKE is run on the makefile BELL.MAK included with the sample
programs in the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.00, the
following error is generated:
BELL.c(31) : fatal error C1024: cannot open include file 'demo.h'
This error occurs because the makefile does not contain the correct
directory location for the file DEMO.H.
More Information:
By default, BELL.MAK is installed in a subdirectory under MASM 6.00
called \SAMPLES\TSR. BELL.MAK should compile the file BELL.C and
assemble the files INSTALL.ASM and HANDLERS.ASM. BELL.C includes the
file DEMO.H, which is located in the \SAMPLES\DEMO subdirectory.
The C1024 error occurs because the compiler cannot find DEMO.H, since
the compiler searches for include files only in the current directory
or in the directory(s) pointed to by the INCLUDE environment variable.
Any of the following methods can be used to work around the C1024
error:
1. Copy the file DEMO.H from the \SAMPLES\DEMOS subdirectory to the
\SAMPLES\TSR subdirectory.
-or-
2. Copy the file DEMO.H from the \SAMPLES\DEMOS subdirectory to a
directory specified by your INCLUDE environment variable.
-or-
3. Use the /I compiler switch to specify the \SAMPLES\DEMO directory
as an additional directory to search for include files. This can be
done from inside the Programmer's WorkBench as follows:
A. Choose the Set Program List option from the Make menu.
B. Select BELL.MAK from the list of available files.
C. Choose C Compiler Options from the Options menu.
D. In the Additional Options field, enter the /I option with the
path to the directory containing DEMO.H. For example:
/IC:\MASM\SAMPLES\DEMOS
