[CE U14 & U13 & U12 SDK] Still Missing slash in winntmdl.mki => fatal error LNK1181

I found below definition. ntTools has been appended a slash already.

Hi Yongan.Fu,

Thanks for your quick response!

But mine definition also has a backslash at the end, because it is a shell variable and not a makefile variable.

NTTOOLS=C:\PROGRA~2\MIB055~1\2017\PROFES~1\VC\Tools\MSVC\1416~1.270\

Of course I could trick the system with a double or tripple slash or backslash. But IMHO `{}` stands for "cleaning up the path to avoid double or tripple slashes" 

I suspect that the correct use of `{}` in Makefiles is as I have written here ce-u13-sdk-missing-slash-in-winntmdl-mki-fatal-error-lnk1181.
Or am I mistaken, and the - in my eyes unclean - use of `\/` is the recommended procedure?

As a workaround it is of course a possibility. But of course, collateral damage can occur elsewhere.

Hi Volker Hüfner,

Defect 1108605 has been filed to address consistency of ntTools in winntmdl.mki.  I have requested this be corrected and included in the MSCE SDK U15 release. Although hopeful I cannot say with 100% certainty the fix will be addressed in that release.

HTH,
Bob

Hi Robert Hook,

Fortunately it is only an annoying mistake and not a critical one.

I hope your hope will come true, otherwise I "threaten" with a post "[CE U15 & CE U14 & U13 & U12 SDK] Still Missing slash in winntmdl.mki => fatal error LNK1181" :-)

Eureka, the slash is finally here. (#U15)

Thanks a lot!
