Building the MSVC runtime from source

Question

Hello, As an exercise in understanding the underlying functionality provided by the MS C Runtime, I've been looking at the source code for it provided with Visual Studio. However, I keep running into errors trying to actually build the code.

These are the two main errors that have the problem:

Command line error D2016 : '/Ze' and '/Za' command-line options are incompatible
        link -lib -nologo -out:build\intel\st_obj\convert.lib @build\intel\st_obj\convert.rsp
link: invalid option -- l

The build process is done through nmake but I'm not really familiar with it, and I couldn't find any obvious problems with the script.

Anyone have any idea on how to get around this? Thanks.
