Nmake errors with BINDEXPLIB

ROOT
1

Hi,

I am trying to compile a National Instruments code in VC++ and cygwin using nmake.

I downloaded CERN’s ROOT for Windows and it compiled just fine.

But because I wanted some other libraries I had to re-install Brookhaven’s ROOT for windows. Since then it has not compiled. Since I had some errors with the /usr/bin/link, I did mv /usr/bin/link.exe /usr/bin/link_cyg.exe as suggested in a ROOT forum. But now I am stuck with this error with the inability to make an .obj file and a fatal error related to BINDEXPLIB. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here’s the whole message copied:-

$ nmake -f makefile.mak

Hi,

Could you attach your makefile.mak, please ?

Hi,

I don’t see any obvious problem with the makefile…
Could you post your full source code and makefile in a tar file?

Bertrand.

  1. You are using the Cygwin bash shell command window aren’t you?
    Why? Can you use the regular Windows “Command Prompt” ?

  2. If you use Cygwin, please, tell us how you start the Cygwin session.

  3. Can you print the Windows environment with the command

 and send the output.

Thank you

[quote=“sujeewa”]I had to re-install Brookhaven’s ROOT for windows. Since then it has not compiled. [/quote]Can you say which ROOT version from BNL you installed? Did you install it into the separate dedicated directory? It would be nice to see your entire project to reproduce your trouble.
