FIX: Localize Sample Can Not Be Built

ID: Q168424

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Building the Localize sample from a command prompt using NMAKE generates the following errors:

"Localize.mak(26) : fatal error U1050:

An invalid configuration is specified. Stop"

"NMAKE : fatal error U1077:

'"C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\BIN\NMAKE.EXE"' : return code '0x2'"

Building the Localize sample from within Developer Studio causes the warning:

The following environment variables were not found $(OUTDIR)

CAUSE

The first error occurs because the default makefile is missing the configurations for the Locresde.mak and Locresfr.mak files.

The second problem is caused by an undefined macro called $(OUTDIR) listed in the Additional resource include directories.

RESOLUTION

If you need to build from the command line, then invoke NMAKE separately on each of the project makefiles. For example:


    nmake /f localize.mak
    nmake /f locresde.mak
    nmake /f locresfr.mak

To eliminate the warning about $(OUTDIR), from the Project menu, click Settings, and then highlight Localize Project and click the Resources tab. Remove $(OUTDIR) from the Additional resource include directories.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 6.0 for Windows.
