compiling a UDF
 

I am trying to follow the steps in the UDF manual at

7.3.3 Compiling and Building Your Shared Library

to compile a particular UDF.

When I give the nmake command at the command prompt, I am getting the following error --

R:\1\libreactor\ntx86\2d>nmake clean

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved.

Could Not Find R:\1\libreactor\ntx86\2d\*.dll

Can someone tell me what is going on ? What am I doing wrong ?

Re: compiling a UDF
 

If you compile udf in windows, you'd better install one c /c++ compiler, e.g. visual c++ 6.0, and make sure that all the necessary dynamic library files are installed. Hope it helps somehow.

Can't say I've done this under windows, but....

"nmake clean" is probably designed to clean up the files created by compiling the UDF. I imagine it is trying to delete all the .dlls, but in this case you don't have any.

I am not familar with microsoft make, but under unix you can do something like:

make -k clean

which ignores errors.

Alternatively open up the Makefile in a text editor, and see what it is doing.
