Re: compiling dia in windows "cl" not found

[Mark Dexter <dextercowley gmail com>]

Meik & Steffan: I would like to get a more current version for Windows for working on the help file. If you create a current file compiled for Windows, it would be great if I could get a copy somehow. Please let me know if you get this working. Thanks. Mark

I just had a look at

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.14/gtk+-bundle_2.14.7-20090119_win32.zip

At the top level of the zip file, there is no "gtk" folder - maybe
your zip software adds this automatically?

Example: The folder "bin" from the zip file must become "c:\gtk\bin"

Don't erase the folder or files. Just combine all the things in c:\gtk.

Yes

nmake is included in Visual Studio. Most probably the Visual Studio Installation
path does not match the one from diadev.bat

In your Visual Studio installation, look for a file called
vcvars32.bat and compare it with diadev.bat
If you can't fix the PATH problem yourself,  you can also send me the
file and I'll ceate an updated diadev.bat for you.

Yes, diadev.bat tries to do that.

Same problem as with nmake: cl needs to be in the PATH.
