[vorbis-dev] win32sdk shared memory issue -- proposed change of code

[Matthijs Laan]

On 17 Oct 2001, you wrote in internal.mail.vorbis-dev:

BTW, some remarks about the win32 batch files:

You should replace "exit"s by a "goto" to the end of the file, because 
using "exit" closes the console - it does *not* return to the calling batch 
file (as you expect in mkmak.bat when calling mfmacro.bat). One also 
doesn't get a chance of seeing the error messages before exiting when there 
are some - the console just closes without showing them. "Sleep" doesn't 
exist on my system either (Clean Win2000sp2/msvc6sp5pp install).

And before "echo Generating makefiles, please wait..." in mkmak.bat the 
user should install the macro file by opening msdev, going to Tools -> Add-
ins and Macro Files and ticking the checkbox for "oggvorbis". Then the 
SDKHOME needs to be set before running the other batch files.

Hope this helps,

Matthijs
