I'm trying to get crinkler working under VS 2008.
I have copied and renamed crinkler to link.exe
added /CRINKLER to additional options
but i still keep getting /CRINKLER unrecognized options.
i'm using windows xp with latest crinkler 1.2
what have i missed?

Just to check
link.exe is in the folder along with your .vcproj file, and /CRINKLER was added to the Additional Linker Options?
If that's not working, is it failing because of other options that crinkler doesn't like, for example /LTCG?

Have you added the project path to VS paths list, if you dont it wont look for link.exe in the projects folder and will use the default linker which will give errors including /CRINKLER unrecognized.

adding the project path did the job.
something new in vs 2008, coz I sure did't do that when I had it working in vs 2005.
thanks for the help!
k++ for you all

Glad I could help, if only I could get it to compress on Vista would save me having to run 2 pc's lol

Why wouldn't it work under Vista?
Just tried it in a virtual pc and it works fine.
I did have to add the project path again, but after that all works.
latest crinkler 1.2 version

It will only compress using the Instant mode, the other 2 produce a zero bytes exe and/or crash when there ment to start the compress bit, I have tried it from inside VS and from a command prompt but get the same result and no error message which makes it hard to tell why its failing. I can run exe's compressed by it in any mode as I have tried ones compressed on xp, I just cant get it to compress for some reason, there was someone else that mentioned it on pouet.net, they get the same results as me but I havent seen anything on fixing it posted at all.
