error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code and manifest

[Jason_G_1]

I was getting the

error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code

error message when compiling. When a ran the exe it said it was not a win32 application. then after looking at the BuildLog.htm it seemed to be happening when "embedding manifest". Under Linker, Manifest File, if I turn off generating a manifest it compiles with no problem. Why?

Thanks

What error messages did the manifest tool give?

[Jason_G_1]

No specific error message - at least that I can tell. Here is the last few lines of the BuildLog.htm

Curious. The next step I'd suggest, if you want to persue this, is to repeat the link and mt commands from a "Fortran build environment" command prompt and see if you get a more descriptive error.

Or you can simply turn off manifest use, as you did, and ignore it.

I think the position of the quote marks is incorrect on the line that creates the link command.

What was generated:

Creating command line &quotLink @&quotC:Documents and SettingsJasonMy DocumentsprojectsEnergyPlusDevEnergyPlus-CR fixingdev-nEnergyPlusDebuggerRSP1.rsp""

(double quotes at end of string to be enquoted)

What is required

Creating command line &quotLink" @&quotC:Documents and SettingsJasonMy DocumentsprojectsEnergyPlusDevEnergyPlus-CR fixingdev-nEnergyPlusDebuggerRSP1.rsp"

(move last " to after &quotLink)

I don't think so - it's just the odd way the HTML is presented in the VS window.
