I would like to abandon the GUIs when doing Microsoft C++ builds.
Our code is stored in ClearCase; therefore it's "in the mix" when it comes
to doing builds. My dynamic view is stored on a remote machine mapped to M
drive. The ClearCase server is also on this remote machine.
Much of the MS Studio stuff is stored on my C drive.

Here's what I tried: (Note: name of project is Snoo.dsp)

>>> msdev Snoo.dsp /MAKE ALL /REBUILD >>errlog.txt 2>&1

Here's what I got:
___
Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'Snoo - Win32 Debug'.

Release'.

My PATH variable contains the system path for rc.exe. "C:" is prepended,
so even though the area from which I'm executing is under M:, rc.exe should
be visible.
Is this some sort of Windows environment confusion on my part?

Thanks,

The RC.EXE program is being located and executed, and is complaining that
the directory that it will store the .RES in does not exist.

Try manually creating the C:\PRODUCTS\XYZSNOO\DEBUG and RELEASE directories.

It may be referencing M:\PRODUCTS\... , and you may not have permission to
write to those directories. Use NOTEPAD to look at the .DSP -- look for
paths that include drive letters.
