Title: Trouble building NASM with MSVC and nmake
Post by: lbradford on November 21, 2013, 02:00:56 PM

Hi all,

I'm having trouble building NASM 2.10.09 on Windows 7 using the Visual Studio 2012 Command Prompt and nmake. As per the INSTALL doc, I'm using "nmake /f Mkfiles/msvc.mak". The error I get is "./macros.pl: ./macros.*mac: Invalid argument." With older versions of NASM I get the issue described here: http://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392209. Could this be related to http://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392258 ?

This happens with no changes to the sources - from what I've read online, macros.c shouldn't be regenerated unless I change something, so I'm not sure why this happens.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Luke
