CIN and MS Visual C++ 5.0

[igor@korugaindustries.com]

Hello all,
is Microsoft's Developer Studio 97 Visual C ++ 5.0 acceptable compiler
for
crating CINs?
If not can someone suggest a C compiler that is ?(I am using Win NT
SP5).
I did (or at least I think I did) everything by the book: placed CIN on
the
diagram, connected input and output, did 'create .c file', and inserted
the
code. I configured Visual C++ 5.0 compiler as in CIN Ref. Manual,
however
can not get *.lsb file. Compiler states that *.c file compiles without
problem. I tried compiling and building whole 'project' but to no avail
for
*.lsb file. I am not sure if I perhaps entered wrong paths in the
project
input fields ( I tried playing around with them, even changing to DOS
names).
Again, I am not sure if I
am doing something wrong or this compiler is
not
'compatible' with LV.
Here is the snippet of the error code I got when tried to build the
project:

--------------------Configuration: cinwork - Win32
Debug--------------------

Hi all,
I figured out the problem for my own question. so if anyone is
interested here it is:
In CIN Ref. manual, which comes in the *.pdf format on the disk NI
people made a mistake (typo) and an (to me very important) omission

mistake typo for Visual C++ IDE p 1-30 under Build commands:
manual: \win32\lvsbutil $(TargetName) -d
$(WkspDir)\$(OutDir)
should be: \win32\lvsbutil $(TargetName) -
d "$(WkspDir)\$(OutDir)"
Note parentheses around $(WkspDir)\$(OutDir)

omission is that they did not emphasised, in the *pdf file but did on
the web page, that path names should be in the dos format.

after implementing correct paths I got everything to work correctly
