Compiling stlport under VC9: rc.exe mising

Hello,

trying to start with VC9 1st thing I'm doing is to compile stlport.
going with delivered makefile, it gives the error:

Code:

        rc /I../../stlport /D "COMP=icl" /D "BUILD_INFOS=/nologo /W0 /GR /GX /GF /DWIN64=1 /D_WIN64=1 /Qvc9 /D_STLP_USE_BOOST_SUPPORT /Zm800  /MD /Zi /O3 /GL /Qipo" /fo obj\icl\shared\stlport.res ../../src\stlport.rc
NMAKE : fatal error U1045: spawn failed : Invalid argument
Stop.
Original environment restored.

hmm looks like no rc.exe


having installed VS2010 full and VSExpress2008, searched thru
D:\Microsoft\Visual Studio 10\
D:\Microsoft\Visual Studio 9\
for rc.exe, though none was found, whereis that thingy gone, was it replaced with something else?
Last rc.exe I used in VC7.1

I have no idea what stlport is, but did you try to ask somewhere in stlport forums?

hmm didnot. anyway I suppose it is a nmake related error because it says
NMAKE : fatal error U1045: spawn failed : Invalid argument
which is some problem with rc call
