Visual C++ 6 Project with ASM module -> VS2003

I have a project myself and a friend worked on in Visual C++ 6 some time ago.

I am now trying to port this project to Visual C++ v7.1 as part of my move to Visual Studio.Net 2003.

One of the module in the file is a .ASM file which was assembled using MASM 6.11 as a custom build.

On attempting to assemble this project I am getting the following message:


Performing Custom Build Step

Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 7.10.3077

Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Assembling: and

MASM : fatal error A1000: cannot open file : and

Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Custom Build Step"


This command line for this custom build is:

ml /Cp /I. /c /coff /Zi /Fo"$(OutDir)"\"$(InputName)".obj "$(InputPath)"

    Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Darren Birks\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Winston\Release\BuildLog.htm" WinSTon - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

    Could this be related to long filename, if so why no compaint about C:\Documents, which also would be invalid/none existant.

    Hi Darren,

    Can you paste in the command from the build log, that would show he actual parameters for the invokation of ml.

    That solved it thanks Big Smile

  • jpursell

    Does cleaning the quotation marks around the parameters to /Fo (making it: ml /Cp /I. /c /coff /Zi /Fo"$(OutDir)\$(InputName).obj" "$(InputPath)") fix the problem

    Thanks,
    Tarek
