I have been trying to convert some of my projects over from VC++ 2.2 to the
new VC++ 4.0, and have had the following strange problem when setting up a
project that builds a static library.

One of the libraries I am trying to build has about 100+ modules. When doing a
'Build' or 'Rebuild All' I noticed that alot of files were being produced in
the WINDOWS\TEMP area ( 4 files per module being compiled), but no .OBJ files
were ending up in the DEBUG directory of the project.

I have just done another test where I created a static library project with
one module. The 'Build' was successful, a .OBJ file was created in the DEBUG
directory of the project. I added another 5 modules to the project, did a
'Build'. The .OBJ files arrived in the DEBUG directory as each module was
compiled. I added another 10 modules to the project, 'Build' again and no .OBJ
files appear in the DEBUG directory, but the compilers temporary files are
left in the WINDOWS\TEMP area.

I have tried creating new projects and converting existing VC 2.2 projects
that build static libraries without any success.

Any ideas ? Anyone successfully compiling a static library under VC++ 4.0 ?.

Thanks
