c++ - 8.49 link trouble from IDDE

Sorry to post here, but the idde group is sort of silent. I have observed a
small but annoying issue when linking programs from w/in the 8.49 idde.

This occurs when using the stlport includes. I have not tested it any
other way.

Specifically, UNLESS the libpath c:\dm\lib is explicitly set in the project
settings in Library Directories, the link cannot complete and reports
the error:

Errors: 24  Warnings: 5
Build failed

HOWEVER, when I add c:\dm\lib to the Library Directories, the link completes
with no errors:
link /NOI /DE /E /PACKF /XN /NT /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup /BAS:4194304 /A:512
 hello.LNK
ren .\$SCW$.EXE hello.EXE
Errors: 0  Warnings: 0
Successful build

Now, looking at the Makefile, you will see the only difference between
success and failure. The first block was when I tested debug WITH
the libpath set. The second was with RELEASE and no path set. The
error occurs only when c:\dm\lib is absent before KERNEL32....It has
nothing to do with DEBUG or RELEASE. I can reverse it and repeat
the error.


hello.OBJ
$$SCW$$.EXE
NUL
c:\dm\lib\ KERNEL32.LIB GDI32.LIB USER32.LIB
hello.DEF;
<<


!ELSE
.OBJ.EXE:
                $(LNK) $(LFLAGS)  $(PROJ).LNK<<
hello.OBJ
$$SCW$$.EXE
NUL
KERNEL32.LIB GDI32.LIB USER32.LIB
hello.DEF;
<<

Now, from the command line, dmc ...hello.cpp works fine with no error.
I can only guess the problem is somewhere w/in the IDDE.

Here is sc.ini
[Version]
version=7.51 Build 020

[Environment]
PATH=%PATH%;% P%
BIN=% P%
INCLUDE=% P%\..\stlport\stlport;% P%\..\include;% P%\..\mfc\include;%INCLUDE%
LIB=% P%\..\lib;% P%\..\mfc\lib;%LIB%
HELP=% P%\..\help

To me, it seems to be redundant and unnecessary to have to
manually add the library path to each project! Is this a problem
with the IDDE? A bug possibly?

I use wine, but have been able to duplicate the problem exactly on
XP as well.

snip...

I now tried it with several of the tutorial files, and the same error occurs.
It is mandatory to include the library path in the Project. The projects
provided in the tutorials will have compile failures if you try and build them.

Is DMC in the default location on your hard disk?

Does it work if you set the LIB environment variable to point to where 
the library files are?

Yes, and PATH includes c:\dm\bin

NO. I did set LIB=c:\dm\lib, but the error remains.

All works fine from the command line. It's just when a project is being
built from w/in the IDDE.

Try editting \dm\bin\sc.ini to set LIB.

This is the way sc.ini is when the problem occurs. I also tried hard-coding
the LIB and all paths e.g. c:\dm\....

Problem persists.

I'll try and get more information. Will report if I get anything. Frustrating.

Well, on further review....It appears to be a wine problem, not a DMC
problem or IDDE one. Apparently, even though the system PATH is set, and LIB
is set in sc.ini, apparently when the IDDE spawns a child process to
compile, it may not be inheriting the proper environment settings and thus
not able to look in the right places. INCLUDE seems to work, and so does
PATH, but not LIB.

Running the identical test under true WinXP is now OK. The XP problem I had
noted before was because I had not set the PATH in the environment. Now,
with that set, builds work.

Sorry to have troubled you. If I can figure out a nice workaround for wine,
I'll post it.

Similar problems crop up when running the gnu shell under Windows.
