VC 8

[Alamelu]

Hi,

I converted a project in VC6 to VC8 and performed a clean build after
compiling stdafx.cpp separately.

In project settings i am using "Use Precompiled Header" options. I want to
use precompiled headers, hence i dont want to go for "Not Using precompiled
Header" options.

When building it gives me the following error
fatal error C1083: Cannot open precompiled header file:
'.\Release\File1.pch': No such file or directory

"Use Precompiled Header" options should create .pch if it is not available
right? What is going wrong?

Regards,
Alamelu

Alamelu,

If you look with Explorer, does that directory & file exist?

Assuming the IDE isn't lying and the directory exists but the pch file
doesn't, check the C/C++ Precompiled Headers build settings for just
the stdafx.cpp module - it should be set to /Yc (whereas all the other
modules should be /Yu).
