Backport #3437: Does not compile on Windows with Visual Studio

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: yugui (Yuki Sonoda)

[Octagon (Andrey Gerasimenko)]

=begin
When compiled with Visual Studio, compilation fails with the error message "cannot parse and attach manifest, file not found".

OS: Windows 7

Since ruby is more or less OK without a manifest, just entering "nmake" again allows to advance further and finally get ruby compiled.

With VS 2008 it is necessary to resume nmake about 3 times, just when final executables are being built. With VS 2010 it is necessary to resume nmake very many times.

yugui-san, please commit this patch.
this is a part of r25173, and already backported to ruby_1_8, ruby_1_8_7.
Only ruby_1_9_1 and ruby_1_8_6 haven't backported it.
