Changing compilers temporarily?

Hi all. I've got a question about the Rotor build system.

I'm trying to use the Compuware DevPartner profiler to do some timing tests.
In order to do that, I need to compile with their compiler NMCL, which is a
wrapper around CL.exe, and link with NMLINK instead of LINK.EXE.

In digging through the maze that is build.exe and all the makefiles, I
*think* all I need to do is set the following enviroment variables:

set CC_NAME=nmcl
set LINKER=nmlink

But when I do that, I get this error log:


nmlink -out:C:\Home\Chris\Projects\Rotor\src\sscli\clr\bin\rotor_x86\checked
\rotor_pal.dll -machine:i386 @C:\DOCUME~1\chris\LOCALS~1\Temp\nm330.tmp

Stop.

So where did coffbase.txt go? Where did it come from? Is there some other
environment variable I need to tweak too?

Thanks for any help!
