Make configure.bat work with VC9

[guysoft]

%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% is not defined in VC9

[weltling]

I'm running this in a pure cmd

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\SetEnv.Cmd" /debug /x86 /xp
and then can see both

CPU=i386
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64

so looks like it's set. On the other hand, CPU is set to i386 but not x86, so that wouldn't catch.

But i also have to mention we're in 2.6.0 mpir release and that's what we use for VC11, but 2.5.1 for VC9. There are also no build scripts for VC9 in the distro, or have you back ported the VS projects?

Hey,
So two things.

1. I am using SDK 7.0.
2. It fails for me now on VC11 as well.

It seems to me that making the configure script depend on an environment variable, that the builder can't set is bad practice.
You are setting --cpu x86 which you require in the docs anyway, then that should be sufficient.

Do you call it from a SDK console?

Guy,

I'm not sure why you even need that file. It's actually

cd build.vc11
prebuild gc win32
devenv mpir.sln /build "Release|Win32" /project dll_mpir_gc

or open the sln directly. What do i miss?

@weltling I use it here to build. seems to work. Both for VC9 and VC11. So works for me. I guess I can try your way when I get to it
