Difficulties building custom dll

[joe-tavares]

I am running Visual Studio 2005 and I am having problems running nmake to build a custom dll using IPP 5. I have successfully done this with VS 6 but now that I have upgraded toVS 2005and I need to add to my custom dll I am having difficulties.

When I type NMAKE the error I get is

makefile(15) : fatal error U1050: DllName is not defined. Check if tools.ini exists.

tools.ini does indeed exist and is in the directory I am running nmake in. I am certain it is something simple, seems like when you touch something only once every 6 months or so you forget almost everything about it.

thanks,

Hi Joe,

I've just try it under VS2005 and was able to reproduce that issue. Please submit your issue report to Intel Premier Support

I modified Makefile and customdll.mak to explicitely include tools.ini (tools.ini itself requires modification to be makefile friendly). With these modifications I was able to build customdll sample in following conditions:

-create VS2005 environment in console by running vcvars32.bat script (actually I did call of this script from additional script which also run nmake)
-add IPP environment by set IPPROOT to point to IPP install folder
-run nmake

For you reference I've attached modified files

Regards,
Vladimir
