Wrong directory name when building for VisualStudio

I tried to build the lattest version of ADMB (13.0) on Windows and an error occured. An object could not be found after the first call to Microsoft compilator (cl version 19.33.31630).

if not exist ..\build\admb\include\contrib md ..\build\admb\include\contrib
        IF NOT EXIST ..\build\objects\win32-cl md ..\build\objects\win32-cl
        "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.33.31629\bin\HostX86\x86\nmake.exe" _objects

The reason was that the directory used to store the objects was named "win32-cl" instead of "vs-cl". The same error occurred for the nmake DEBUG=yes call.
After creating vs-cl and vs-cl-debug manually, the installation went through without error.

Is it a problem due to a bad manipulation on my part, or an error in the installation process?

Thanks,
Jules

Edit :

I discovered that not all makefiles define OSNAME and CXXVERSION in the same way. finally, I forced the makefiles to define the constants this way:

CXXVERSION=-cl19
OSNAME=-win32

And the whole construction process was completed correctly.

I forgot to mention that I use Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10 and cl.exe in version 19.33.31630 for x86.

Try and use the x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2022 from the Start Menu to build from source.

I used x86 Native Tools Command prompt for VS 2022 and this is what I got :

Thank Jules (@Ash12H) for reporting this. Please try the fixes (9055586) that are in dev-13.1 branch and let me know if it works for you.

I tried to build admb with this branch and it worked much better. All objects are created well but one last problem remains:

*** Linking: ..\..\build\ad2csv\ad2csv.obj ..\..\build\ad2csv\main.obj

Error: Unable to build.

Link was set on admb-win32-cl19.lib but in my "build/lib" directory I have admb-win32-cl.lib (and also admbo-win32-cl.lib, admb-contrib-win32-cl.lib, admb-contribo-win32-cl.lib).

johnoel commented

getting closer…, but there should be a admb-win32-cl19.lib in the build/admb/lib directory.

can you rebuild?

> nmake clean
> nmake

then send output of the first 5 calls to cl.exe.

also, can you send display output of just using the cl.exe compiler in the command prompt?

> cl.exe

???

Okay, please update the dev-13.1 branch, then clean and rebuild it again.
