Week 4 Day 17: Build file problems

a_dreamer
#11686
Hey so I've been following along quite closely with casey and I'm on week 4 day 017. I'm having trouble with the build file tho. All we did was change the compiler and linker flags to be variables instead of inline, but when I do that it throws up a bunch of errors it didn't have before the change.

Here's the code that's causing it:

@echo off

set CommonCompilerFlags = -MT -nologo -Gm- -GR- -EHa- -Od -Oi -WX -W4 -wd4201 -wd4100 -wd4189 -wd4456 -DNEWGAME_INTERNAL=1 -DNEWGAME_SLOW=1 -DNEWGAME_WIN32=1 -FC -Z7 -Fmwin32_newGame.map
set CommonLinkerFlags = -opt:ref user32.lib gdi32.lib

IF NOT EXIST w:\newGame\build mkdir w:\newGame\build
pushd w:\newGame\build
REM cl %CommonCompilerFlags% c:\Users\dreamer\Projects\CPrograms\newGame\code\win32_newGame.cpp /link -subsystem:windows,5.1 %CommonLinkerFlags%  REM 32 bit version
cl %CommonCompilerFlags% c:\Users\dreamer\Projects\CPrograms\newGame\code\win32_newGame.cpp /link %CommonLinkerFlags%  REM 64 bit version
popd


Here's the output errors:

I am debugging through vs2015 so if the /Wv:18 is supposed to help me, i can't figure out how to place it because wherever I put it, it produces the same errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whitespace is significant in the 'set' lines you have. The first line defines the variable 'CommonCompilerFlags ' instead of 'CommonCompilerFlags'. If you prepend 'echo' to your cl line you'll see it.

set CommonCompilerFlags=-MT -nologo -Gm- -GR- -EHa- -Od -Oi -WX -W4 -wd4201 -wd4100 -wd4189 -wd4456 -DNEWGAME_INTERNAL=1 -DNEWGAME_SLOW=1 -DNEWGAME_WIN32=1 -FC -Z7 -Fmwin32_newGame.map
set CommonLinkerFlags=-opt:ref user32.lib gdi32.lib

@royh Thank you so much, I don't work with batch that often so the information was super helpful. It's all working now
