SYMPTOMS
Attempting to build the CUSTOMWZ, HIERWIZ, and LOGOWIZ samples from the command line will fail, giving errors like these:

rc.exe /l 0x409 /fo".\Debug/customwz.res" /d "NDEBUG" /d "_PSEUDO_DEBUG" /d "_AFXDLL" .\customwz.rc       link.exe @C:\temp\nma00116. bscmake.exe @C:\temp\nmb00116.

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make '"\bin\ide\.awx"' Stop.



CAUSE
The TargetName and MSDevDir macros have not been assigned values.



RESOLUTION
Define the macros in NMAKE's command line. Example,

NMAKE /f CUSTOMWZ.MAK MSDevDir=C:\MSDEV TargetName=customwz

NOTE: This example will default to the Pseudo-Debug target.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The samples all build without any errors when you build them from within the Developer Studio using the corresponding project workspace (.mdp) files.
