[comp.lang.c++] Turbo C++ & CPP

carlp@hpvcfs1.HP.COM (Carl Peterson) (07/27/90)

Recently I found that I needed to run the Turbo C++ preprocessor on
one of my files to track what was going on with some complex conditional
compiles.  I couldn't get the -o option on the CPP.EXE to work!  When
presented with the command line:

	cpp -mh -I..\include -omsdos.lst msdos.c

CPP returns:

	Error msdos.c: Unable to create output file ''

I've tried various iterations of the parameters with and without
extensions.  But, whenever I include the -o parameter CPP can't
create the file and the file name is usually filled with junk
characters (bad string pointer??!).

My hard disk isn't full and checks out ok.  The paths are good and
I can complile using tcc.  What am I missing!??

			HELP!
