[cciug] [Win2k] Using nmake in omake makefile hangs with MS Link

Hi,

for various reasons, I'm currently investigating some performance issues. On
is build timing. For a project I've rewritten the build script to use
Makefiles (the original build script is based on .bat files and is highly
intertwined with VSS ...).

Anyway, I've tried to extract build information from the .bat and to include
them my Makefile (I want to be as equal as possible, hence, I want to use
the same set of commands to build the software). There are build scripts,
which invoke nmake. So, I have the following "call stack":

omake -f MyMakefile ==> nmake -f ProjectMakefileForComponent ==> MS Link

When running this in a dynamic view using local view storage (ie. view
storage is on my machine, not on a server) the LINK process hangs.

I've tracked down the problem to the fact, that when deleting generated
files (ie. doing a remove on view privates) everything works fine.

During the build process the following file types are created:

.DEF
.exp
.lib
.obj
.pdb
.res
.vrc
.vxd

I do not know all of them :-)

Well ... I would appreciate any hints you have. Note: The build works fine
using remote view storage. This leads me to the assumption that local view
storage and its associated processes might not be compatible with MS LINK.

Thanks for your time

Peter
