ERROR No Target Architecture

[ForNow]

Hi, I VS 2012 as a makefile project in the nmake properties IntelliSense Preprocessor definitions I specify _AMD64_ Yet I get the following compile error :\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Include\winnt.h(135): fatal error C1189: #error : "No Target Architecture"

It sounds as though your definitions are not being exported correctly, check the make file to see what it is setting.

No idea, but as I said earlier, you should look at the makefile to see whether this value has been propagated correctly.
