If I run this cmd on cmd line using MS cl:
cl -c /W3 /Od ioapi.c
the object file, ioapi.obj is created as expected.
If however I create a makefile with this entry:
ioapi.obj: ioapi.c
cl -c /W3 /Od ioapi.c
There is a tab before cl above
and run make ioapi.obj then I get this error:
make ioapi.obj
cl -c /W3 /Od ioapi.c

cl is the MS VS 2008 compiler.
I have installed minGW, version is from 6 months ago.
If I run make -n ioapi.c I get this reported as expected:
cl -c /W3 /Od ioapi.c
I am running cl.exe from the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt (where the VS2008 env variables are pre-setup).
Why am I getting this strange error and how to fix it?
I did wonder if it was a problem with the MS environment. But even if I run the vcvars32.bat file to setup the MS environment before running make it makes no difference.
I noticed that if I use this:
ioapi.obj: ioapi.c
cl -c ioapi.c
Then the error goes away. But I do need to pass in compiler switches.
The problem was make's handling of the /W3 /Od switches. It seems make thinks /W3 is the start of a file due to the / symbol. So to prevent this I changed the switches to use - instead of /. eg -W3 -Od which is acceptable to the MS complier/linker.
So the change in the makefile which was required is:
ioapi.obj: ioapi.c
cl -c -W3 -Od ioapi.c

I am experiencing a very strange behavior, old batch file works well under windows XP. Why doesn't it work when compiling a simple file like hello.c under (Vs2017 + Win10) by a batch file in cmd window?
When realizing that Win10 has new security policy,，I read some articles on Microsoft's website. They recommend using the developer command-line window for command-line compilation.
Indeed, manual operation works well. But when I logged on Win10 as a super administrator and tried to run everything via a batch file,
it didn't work, just finished the environment configuration.
When running the commands in the batch file manually, everything works as expected (executable file successfully generated).
What is wrong with that?
Here is the content of the batch file:
%comspec% /k "C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017 \Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
cd g:\testdir
g:
cl TestBatFileCompile.c
Preliminary Notes:
vcvars64.bat simply calls vcvarsall.bat and it passes the x64 argument to it, followed by its own (if any)
vcvarsall.bat mainly sets some env vars (set VSCMD_DEBUG=3 prior running it, for verbose output) required for the VStudio build tools to work. Check [MS.Docs]: Build C/C++ code on the command line for more details
I enhanced / simplified your example for more clarity:
script.bat:
#echo off
echo Running vcvars...
%comspec% /K "c:\Install\x86\Microsoft\Visual Studio Community\2017\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64
echo Ran vcvars: %ERRORLEVEL%
echo Running cl...
cl /nologo dummy.c /link /NOLOGO
echo Ran cl: %ERRORLEVEL%
dummy.c:
int main() {
return 0;
}

cmd /K ([MS.Docs]: Cmd) opened a new cmd instance, on top of the existing one (using the same window)
vcvarsall was called in this (2nd) instance, did its job and finished, and things seem to have been left in the air
But after typing exit, it turns out that cl did run, but in the 1st cmd instance (in the background, if you will), and since the variables were not previously set by vcvarsall, it failed
To make things work, invoke vcvarsall using [MS.Docs]: call:

When passing the linker switch debug:fastlink to Visual studio's linker (version 14.11.25547 - VS 2017 update 15.5) I always get a 5-7 second delay in my program execution when trying to run it inside VS debugger. I'm assuming the debug:fastlink option is the issue since when I remove it, everything works alright. Also, no change occurs if I try the option debug:full. It seems in order for VS debugger to hit my breakpoints the linker needs to be passed one of these options. Is anyone else having this issue? And is there any workout/solution for this? Just in case here is my build.bat file:
#echo off
set CompilerFlags= -DHANDMADE_SLOW_BUILD=1 -DHANDMADE_DEVELOPER_BUILD=1 -MT -Gm- -Z7 -nologo -Oi -Od -WX -W3 -GR -EHa-
set IncludePaths="w:\handmade\third party\sdl\include"
set LibraryPaths=/LIBPATH:"w:\handmade\third party\sdl\lib\x64"
set Libraries="SDL2.lib" "SDL2main.lib"
REM debug:fastlink/full options seem to slow the initial runtime of the app when trying to run in the debugger.
set LinkerFlags=-subsystem:CONSOLE -machine:x64 -incremental:no -nologo debug:fastlink -opt:ref

Does anybody has the same problem as me? I was confused about for almost one week, hope someone may help me.
Thanks all.
By the way, it has compiled successfully under 32bit option.
Then environment setting is as below:

Thanks you all for paying attention my question.I have resolved this issue.
It seems the Unicode setting problem.
Go to Control Panel->Region and Language->Language for the non-Unicode programs
In "Current language for non-Unicode programs", Change to "English(United States)".
I've been following a guido to compile a library into MATLAB. I've installer visualstudio14 so that i have a C++ compiler, then i used the vsvarsxx.bat to use the vs14 compiler with the cmd. For last, i went to the folder i want to compile and tiped nmake nmake -f Makefile.win clean all.
I used a following commands:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin
vsvars32.bat
cd C:\Users\Rafa\Desktop\estágio\PRoNTo_v2.0\PRoNTo_v2.0\machines\libsvm-3.20
nmake -f Makefile.win clean all
It runs whithout problem until i reach the final command. It pops up the following error:
erase /Q .obj windows. Could Not Find
C:\Users\Rafa\Desktop\estágio\PRoNTo_v2.0\PRoNTo_v2.0\machines\libsvm-3.20.obj

svm.cpp 'cl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

I have a Makefile.win: 03/25/2016 09:25 PM 732 Makefile 03/25/2016 09:25 PM 1,084 Makefile.win
I dont understand why that error pops up. Can somebody help me please ?
Could you check your %PATH% variable right before that point?
I'm thinking it may be overflowing, but that's just a theory.
When compiling from the command line with cl.exe the name of the source file is printed by the compiler:
c:\bar> cl /nologo foo.cpp
foo.cpp
Is it possible to require cl.exe to not print that irrelevant info?
A test suite here invokes cl.exe with arbitrary source file names and it would be nice if cl remained silent when there is no diagnostics to emit.
