Microsoft® Visual Studio™ 6.0 Compilation Strange Scenario!

[rapoluus]

I am working on my C project using Microsoft® Visual Studio 6.0 and used to build it properly within IDE. Build page tab used to show me the Compiling .. .c files (uses C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\cl.exe internally) and linking (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\link.exe).

Compiling ...
Test.c
:
:
:
Linking ...
:
Test.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)




Suddenly, now I am seeing that while compiling the same project on Microsoft® Visual Studio™ 6.0 results calling the cl.exe console window seperately and than followed by link.exe. After these two consoles finished running, I am seeing that only number of errors and warnings in my build tab console as below:

Compiling ...
Linking ...

Test.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)



Please share your ideas as how to see whole compilations messages in build tab rather than awkward behavior mentioned above. (By this way i am not able to see the actual compiler errors, but only could see the number of errors).

If there were messages, you'd see them.

The compiler does have different warning levels. You should use at least Warning Level 3. You set it in the project compiler settings.

I have set the warning level to 3. While compilingi n cl.exe window I can see the warnings raised. But, this is running as a new window. However, none of the compilation messages are logged in to build tab.
