I have a bcb5 project group that I am trying to compile with make.exe. Make seems to run fine and generates a call to bcc32.exe, but that fails. Here is the call to bcc32.exe followed by the error.

M:\projects\Project>'D:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5\Bin\bcc32.exe' -Od -H=.\obj_files\vcl50.csm -Hc -Vx -Ve -X- -a8 -5 -b- -k- -vi -c -tW   -tWM -w -par -IP:\b5\crc32\ISC\;Query;Z:\Bin\;Help;pas;D:\PROGRA~1\Borland\CBUILD~1\bin\ ..\include;D:\PROGRA~1\Borland\CBUILD~1\bin\..\include\vcl;DataCenter;'P:\b5\Gif Image\' -D;NO_STRICT;_RTLDLL -nobj_files\ help\chelp.cpp  Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland  Error E2266: No file names given

It appears to me that the file is obviously ‘chelp.cpp’. What’s wrong here?

  1. Thanks for the idea, strager. It was close, but the actual problem is the set of quotes around P:\bg\Gif Image. Changing them to single quotes fixes the problem.

    I believe this can be also be solved with FixMake: http://www.grassvalleysoftware.com/. FixMake takes a makefile and cleans up things such as trailing backslashes and escaped quotations.
