- Yes, I have a project consisting of several libraries, the largest having
- about 40 source files. It compiles/builds just fine.
-
- I thought temp directory was supposed to be a root directory... Now
- where did I hear that? My temp and tmp environment vars point
- to D:\temp. I don't know if that's the problem but it's worth a try.
-
- BTW, how much room remaining on the disk that has \windows\temp?
- When discussing a different problem with a MS help-desk engineer,
- it was brought out that MSVC++ needs *plenty* of temporary disk
- space -- whatever *plenty* means. I had 50 megs at the time and
- she said to try switching to another disk that had much more.
