IBM Rhapsody build process fails with: "NMAKE : fatal error U1052"

Troubleshooting

Problem

IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody building generated C++ or C code fails with: NMAKE : fatal error U1052

Symptom

Error NMAKE : fatal error U1052 is reported when building code in Microsoft® Visual Studio environment.

Cause

The path to the makefile or source code files is incorrect.

Environment

IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody; Microsoft Windows; Microsoft Visual Studio.

Diagnosing The Problem

The property CPP_CG::MSVC::InvokeMake calls msvcmake.bat with $makefile as first parameter.

The current path is the folder of the generated source code.

In msvcmake.bat add some echo %cd% commands to find out in which line the current folder is overwritten.

Resolving The Problem

There are 2 options:

You can fix the batch files, like VsVcvarsall.bat and check all nested called files.
Save the old path in msvcmake.bat and then reset it.

set OLDPATH=%cd%

//call VcVarsall.bat

cd %OLDPATH%

// nmake ...
