• Marcio (21/21) Mar 10 2007 I am running CPAN, which wants to compile some C stuff. Here:
• Walter Bright (2/3) Mar 15 2007 What does the -GF flag do?
• Bertel Brander (7/11) Mar 16 2007 "enable read-only string pooling"
• Marcio (4/10) Mar 21 2007 Great!
• %u (1/1) May 02 2007 I get the same error...anyone know how to get cl.exe?

	I am running CPAN, which wants to compile some C stuff. Here:

c:\>cpan install Date::Calc

	It calls nmake which alls cl.exe. I am using Microsoft's nmake obtained 
from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe and Digital 
mars' cl.exe.

	At one point I get this error:


         cl -c    -nologo -GF -W3 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32

Error: unrecognized flag '-GF'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
   C:\bin\nmake.EXE  -- NOT OK



	Is there a way to have cl.exe support the -GF flag?

	Thanks,

What does the -GF flag do?

 What does the -GF flag do?

"enable read-only string pooling"

I think DMC can safely ignore the flag.
