To All I have tried to create a script to compile MSVC 2017 using BuildxM ( xHarbour ) as my guide ( as you may remember ), unfortunately I gave up because I could not get any script or suggestions from the forum to cleanly compile tutor01.prg. If anyone ...

Still no joy here on using Andi's MSVC 2017 command line binaries .. I would appreciate if someone would download the binaries at the top of this thread and try to modify BuildXm to compile and run Tutor01.prg

I have exhausted my options on a working compile.

Thanks

I am still lost here .. msvcrt.lib was rem'd out in the original BuildxM ... probably for a reason .. I added mscvrt.lib back into the compile and it made no difference in the results.

Totally in the dark here ...
