SYMPTOMS
========
Attempting to build the CUSTOMWZ, HIERWIZ, and LOGOWIZ samples from the command
line will fail, giving errors like these:
rc.exe /l 0x409 /fo".\Debug/customwz.res" /d "NDEBUG" /d "_PSEUDO_DEBUG"
/d "_AFXDLL" .\customwz.rc
link.exe @C:\temp\nma00116.
bscmake.exe @C:\temp\nmb00116.
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make '"\bin\ide\.awx"'
Stop.
CAUSE
=====
The TargetName and MSDevDir macros have not been assigned values.
RESOLUTION
==========
Define the macros in NMAKE's command line. Example,
NMAKE /f CUSTOMWZ.MAK MSDevDir=C:\MSDEV TargetName=customwz<Enter>
NOTE: This example will default to the Pseudo-Debug target.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.
MORE INFORMATION
