DOCERR: MASM 6.0 Makefile SNAP.MAK Gives U1073 NMAKE Errors (71979)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 6.0
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 6.0a
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 6.0b
This article was previously published under Q71979 SUMMARY
When NMAKE is run on the makefile SNAP.MAK included with the sample
programs in the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.00, the
following errors are generated:
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'COMMON.ASM'
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'demo.inc'
The errors occur because the makefile does not contain the correct
directory specification for the files COMMON.ASM and DEMO.INC.
To work around the U1073 errors, copy the files COMMON.ASM and DEMO.INC
from the \SAMPLES\DEMOS subdirectory to the \SAMPLES\TSR subdirectory.
MORE INFORMATION
By default, SNAP.MAK is installed in a subdirectory under MASM 6.00
called \SAMPLES\TSR. SNAP.MAK should assemble the files SNAP.ASM,
INSTALL.ASM, COMMON.ASM, and HANDLERS.ASM. The makefile assumes that
the files DEMO.INC and COMMON.ASM are in the current directory with
the other .ASM files. The U1073 errors are generated because the MASM
6.00 installation program actually places COMMON.ASM and DEMO.INC in
the \SAMPLES\DEMOS subdirectory, and NMAKE cannot find them.
