Syntax error when compiled

Hi Folks,

My models compile fine on my Vista machine, which has Flexsim 4.5.2 and Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express edition. I got a faster machine with XP and installed the same Flexsim and Visual Studio versions. But compiling on the new machine gives a syntax error message as below:

The compiler detected syntax errors.
Would you like to open Visual C++?
This facilitates checking the syntax.

Compiling a test model with just one object gave the same error. After pressing 'OK', compiling on the resultant VC++ interface gave no errors. I made sure I have the correct addresses on the Compiler Configurator. Both machines are 32-bit. And I have the same permissions for 'Flesxim4' directory on both the machines. I don't know what I am missing here and I'd greatly appreciate any help.

And the paths I have on the Compiler Configurator are:
C++ Version: Visual Studio 2008 - tried both 'S or P' as well as 'Express'
C++ location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
SDK location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A

Thanks,
Deepak Tirumalasetty

Have you tried a "compile entire session". If you get errors on Flexsim and not with VS c++ this usually solves the problem.

Yes Steven, I'd tried that. Didn't work.

Compile with the compiler console open (View > Compiler Console). What does it say?

Phil,

The Compiler Console says:

building...
deleting file: all.obj

------------------------------
compiling functions
------------------------------

execute(cl /W0 /MT /EHa /c /nologo "all.cpp");
all.cpp

------------------------------
linking
------------------------------

creating file: C:\Program Files\Flexsim4\program\flexsimRTa.exe
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 9.00.30729.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\DOCUME~1\dtirumal\Local'

Just to give it a try, I installed the full VS2008, but that didn't help as expected. Let me know if this means something, Phil.

Thanks.

In an empty model (File > New), can you compile the entire session or does it give you the same error?

If you can compile the entire session on an empty model, but your model is giving the compiler errors, please send the model to support and we'll take a look at it to figure out what is wrong.

Empty model was giving compiler errors too. But I think the problem is now solved.

As the above error looked like an issue with the space character in 'Local Settings", I just set the TEMP/TMP environment variables to a path with no space characters. And that worked! I can now compile and run with no problems!! It's still strange I had to change the environment variables. Certainly not the case the with all XP machines.

Thanks you all,
Deepak

Hi, I have compile error too. I compile an empty model and session, all have error.
I use vista, flexsim 4.5, vs 2008.

the error is as follows:


building...
deleting file: allobjects.obj


------------------------------
compiling objects
------------------------------

execute(cl /W0 /MT /EHa /c /nologo "allobjects.cpp");
allobjects.cpp
deleting file: all.obj


------------------------------
compiling functions
------------------------------

execute(cl /W0 /MT /EHa /c /nologo "all.cpp");
all.cpp


------------------------------
linking
------------------------------

creating file: C:\FlexsimCT\program\flexsimRTa.exe
cl: 命令行 error D8022 :无法打开“C:\FlexsimCT\program\system\link\flexbinar ies.txt /link”


------------------------------
binding
------------------------------

Deepak, I have the same problem when compiling, but please can you explain a little bit more about your solution. How it is to set the path with no characters?

Thanks
