qeditor and %1

[herge]

Hi :

I have been having some problems with some batch files and maybe menus.ini
and qeditor. I am not sure what's going on?

VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\
windir=C:\WINDOWS
_debug_this=C:\masm32\bin\"C:\masm32\bin\ctzn".exe
_NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN;c:\masm3
2\bin;
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=D:\Windows\Symbols

C:\masm32\bin>dir "C:\masm32\bin\ctzn".*
Volume in drive C is SYSTEM
Volume Serial Number is 9C02-C33F

Directory of C:\masm32\bin

               4 File(s)        625,824 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  60,930,240,512 bytes free

C:\masm32\bin>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

REM From Masm Forum
c:\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff /Zi /Zd %1.asm
c:\masm32\bin\link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /OPT:NOREF /RELEASE /NOLOGO /DEBUG /PDB:%1.pdb %1.obj
set _debug_this=C:\masm32\bin\%1.exe
set
dir %1.*
pause

From a dos box ie icon after printer on qeditor accross the top.
makpdb ctzn
works and _debug_this is set correctlly with out the quotes!

in Qeditor I have Makpdb in the projects menu
We start Makpdb ctzn
It adds quotes to _debug_this and we will get a silent dos error
later on. I think %1 definition has changed.

Help?

Not very clear but i will try to give you some answers:
First:
_NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH      >>> debugger = windbg ? correct ?
dir "C:\masm32\bin\ctzn".*     >>> you have put your source code in the bin directory of masm32 ?
                               This one isn't very good,put your source code in anothe directory.for example
                               ctzn that you create.
The linker is perhaps the one in masm32\bin.Bad thing,he must be the one in:
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN
Link /?  give you the version number of the linker.Verify them ,the most recent ,must be the one in use.
You can also made a build without the debug options.If it work ,you hve to change  the one in masm32 by the one in the vctools (you need to copy also the ms*.dll)

Hi ToutEnMasm:

The Link works!
ctzn.exe works!
ctzn.pdb works!
windbg works!
The Assembler works!

But the enviornment variable _debug_this is malformed ie trash, garbage.

Hi:

set _debug_this=%MASMDIR%\BIN\%1.exe

Have to use another Enviornmental variable.
All most there!

Just look up your rules for naming environment variables as it looks like your batch files are not working correctly.
