SYMPTOMS
Deselecting the Suppress Startup Banner (/nologo) linker option from
within the Developer Studio does not cause the linker banner to display
when building the project.
CAUSE
When building from within Developer Studio, the linker is spawned
directly from the environment. The linker does not echo the command
line options unless the options are received from a linker response file.
RESOLUTION
If you need to view the linker options, on the Project menu, click
Settings, and click the Link tab. In the Settings For box, select the
target for which you want to view the options. The command line options
will appear under Project Options.
The only way to see the actual command line while executing is to build
the project from the command line. To do this, you may need to run the
Vcvars32.bat file in the \Msdev\Bin directory to set up the environment
variables. Change to the directory containing the project makefile and
enter this command:
nmake /f <MakefileName.mak>
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++
version 5.0.
