C++ and Assembler Errors

[SpeedFreak]

In VC6 I recently grabbed the source code for MySQL and wanted to build them on the machine they will run on.

There are several compile errors and they are specific to the assembler files.

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1000: unknown error; consult documentation for technical support options
Error executing link.exe.

pack_isam.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Build : warning : failed to (or don't know how to) build 'D:\MySQLSRC\lib_release\zlib.lib'
Build : warning : failed to (or don't know how to) build 'D:\MySQLSRC\lib_release\mysqlclient.lib'
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "mysqlclient.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

mysqlcheck.exe - 1 error(s), 2 warning(s)

These are the two errors. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are those directories and files correct? Looks to me like you dont have those files on your computer (the .lib) it needs. or they are not under the D:\... directories it wants. Pretty standard linking errors.

You should probably look at the diff Readmes, they probably have one for building it in VC++ with special instructions.

After looking a bit deeper into their code it look like it is failing on Fortan code. Yes, the files are there. The ASM files are fine it has been narrowed down to link to a fortan compiler. Do you know of a good fortran compiler for Win32 (XP or compatible)?

Thanks
