Hi,

I have a problem building wxWidgets 2.6.  I am using stlport 4.5.2, latest dmc(CD version and tools with on-line update) and the latest platform sdk. When I attempt to compile either debug or release builds with smake and makefile.dms I get a series of compilation errors in regexec.c as follows...


        dmc -mn -c -odmc_msw\wxregex_regexec.obj  -o  -ND
-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x040
0 -I..\..\include -I..\..\lib\dmc_lib\msw -D__WXMSW__    -w12

        struct smalldfa *smallwas = small;

                if (small == NULL) {
                        ^

                        small = (struct smalldfa *)MALLOC(
                              ^
..\..\src\regex\rege_dfa.c(283) : Error: '=', ';' or ',' expected
Fatal error: too many errors

If I remove the -ND switch from the command line the error goes away and libraries are built, likewise if I use the default STL or the supplied windows SDK.  Also if I use the make utility and makefile.dmc the build is ok, but here -ND is not specified on the command line to dmc.

From the description of the -ND option in the documentation I do not see how this could effect compilation, the preprocessor macros set do not seem relevant, I have looked at this in the sources

What difference does building with and without -ND make?  Presumably if present the dmc run-time libs are loaded at program run-time and not link time, this should have no effect the compilation phase.  Am I being stupid here but - any ideas anyone?

In makefiles.dms you can find that -ND comes from conditions:

!if "$(RUNTIME_LIBS)" == "dynamic"
__RUNTIME_LIBS = -ND
!endif
!if "$(RUNTIME_LIBS)" == "static"
__RUNTIME_LIBS =
!endif

so all you have to do is to use RUNTIME_LIBS=static in command line of smake. For example complete command line I use myself for such build are:

for wxMSW build:

smake /NOLOGO /F makefile.dms SHARED=0 RUNTIME_LIBS=static UNICODE=0 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug USE_GUI=1 USE_OPENGL=0 USE_ODBC=0 WXUNIV=0

for wxMSWUniversal build:

smake /NOLOGO /F makefile.dms SHARED=0 RUNTIME_LIBS=static UNICODE=1 MONOLITHIC=0 BUILD=release USE_GUI=1 USE_OPENGL=0 USE_ODBC=0 WXUNIV=1

so I'm able to test different settings of build system. I use ODBC and OpenGL turned off because I have free DMC available at the place I usually test it.
