Question

Need Help with Toolkit Makefile

I have copied everything from the protoolkit folder found at the location C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 8.0.5.0\Common Files\protoolkit into C:\Temp\creo for ease of use. 

 

I have edited the PROTOOL_SRC to reflect this but when I try to build this file in Visual Studio 2022, I get these errors (Below is my make_file

 

# Machine Type
PRO_MACHINE_TYPE = x86e_win64

# Executable names
EXE = pt_inst_test.exe
EXE_DLL = pt_inst_test.dll

# Pro/Toolkit Source & Machine Loadpoint (EXTERNAL USE - DEFAULT)
PROTOOL_src=C:/Temp/creo
PROTOOL_SYS = $(PROTOOL_SRC)/$(PRO_MACHINE_TYPE)

# Pro/Toolkit Source & Machine Loadpoint (PTC INTERNAL USE)
#PROTOOL_src=$(PTCSRC)/protoolkit
#PROTOOL_SYS = $(PTCSYS)

    makefile syntax is case sensitive. most likely the problem is with PROTOOL_src ( should be PROTOOL_SRC).

    although the error message is about 'stdio.h' which means nmake.exe does not know about standard include directory locations - the usual checks - make sure your command prompt environment is set by 'x64 Native Tools Command Prompt', visual studio installer should be using 'C++ Desktop...' workflow.

      I have it set as PROTOOL_src=C:/Temp/creo, however I am getting the same error. I also have the Visual studio installer using the C++ Desktop workflow. I believe that I enabled the x64 Native Tools command prompt. Is it possible that this error is being generated because I am using Visual Studio Community?

      Community edition should not be a problem.

      There is a possibility that Windows 10 SDK is missing from the list of installed options - in 'x64 Native...' command prompt check environment variables: %INCLUDE%, %LIB%, %LIBPATH% , %WindowsSdkDIr%- and see if stdio.h file could be found in %INCLUDE%. The common location for stdio.h is in %WindowsSdkDir%Include\%WindowsSDKLibVersion%\ucrt and that directory must be listed in %INCLUDE%.

      Hi maybe this is too obvious but did you try nmake without moving everything in the first place?
