in thread Attempt to embed Perl in C on Windows

Thank you very much for your time! It works now with /Fe, I had to define /Fo as well.

The reason for running in the windows dir was that I used the installed link to the command line of MSVC - it sets the path for c compiler in that cmd window only. It produced an error "cannot open an .obj file" at first, and I read in forum that I need to start it as admin to prevent this. It worked than, only it started in the win/system32 dir. One could possibly navigate in the project dir, but with the above flags it is solved. Thanks again!

    If you right click the Start menu item for that shell, select Properties, the second edit field on the Shortcut tab is the 'Start in:' path, which you can change to point anywhere you want it.

    Come to that typing cd \path\to\MyProject once, is a lot quicker than type /Fe \path\to\MyProject\MyExe.exe /Fo \path\to\MyProject\myexe.obj ... everytime!
