Re: Question about link.exe?

[Lee Dilkie <lee_dilkie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found that setting the complier and linker (all the tools, actually) 
to the full path is the most reliable means to ensure the correct 
executables are picked up.

ie.

CC = full_path_to_ds_8_bin/cl.exe
LINK = full_path_to_ds_8_bin/link.exe

you can use the registered environment variables for DS to build the 
full path up. (can't remember the name right now, I'm at home).
