Lib curl with openssl compilation fails

I want to build the lib curl 7.54.0 with openssl statically for a VS2015 project on win 7. I have built the openssl but unable to build the curl. It fails with error code U1077.

I am running following command in "Developer command prompt for VS2015",

G:\Libs\curl-7.54.0\winbuild>nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=static WITH_SSL=static WITH_DEVEL="G:\Libs\openssl-1.0.1g\output" VC=14 ENABLE_WINSSL=no DEBUG=no MACHINE=x86 GEN_PDB=no

It compiles some files then fails as follows, Copying libs... rc /i../include /dDEBUGBUILD=0 /Fo ..\builds\libcurl-vc14-x86-release-static-ssl-static-ipv6-sspi-obj-curl\curl.res ..\src\curl.rc 'rc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'rc' : return code '0x1' Stop. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 \VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2' Stop.

Not sure how to fix this. Please suggest.

Thanks, R.

I have been solving similar problem with another library. rc.exe is part of Windows SDK and I had to add path of Windows SDK to PATH environment variable.

In my case I have added this to PATH environment variable:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0\x86\

Hoping, it helps. PM
