Command line error D8300?

[DocHaydn]

Hello,
I'm coding in the C language; running XP pro SP2.

After disabling "Pre-compiled headers" in Visual C++
2005 express ed., under properties; I was able to
compile and run a ("Hello World!\n"), program.

However, compiling a larger program(mail manager), some 300 lines, compiled with the gcc compiler without errors,
albeit not run successfully(garbage in buffer gcc); I received 81 errors, and 20 warnings(visual c++).

The first error, talks about:_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE.
After doing some research, I then typed that directive
in the preprocesor field, under properties; compiled
again, this time receiving 80 errors etc, the _CRT_SECURE...
error disappeared.

Doing some more research; I found that I had to include:
#define _CRT_SECURE...; compiled again, and received 1
error:"CL: command line error D8003: missing source
filename."
I did more research; but found nothing that pertains to
my specific situation.

How do I resolve this problem?

Please excuse me, if I'm not in the right forum.

Thank you.

Hrm..

If I try to run cl.exe from the command line, specifying options but no source filename, I get a similar error: "D2003: missing source filename" (I'm running vs2003 though, so the error numbers may be different...).

My first guess would be that your project's messed up somewhere and it's trying to compile something that's not there.. Maybe try rebuilding the solution manually?

Just a thought though.. I may be way off base
