utilManageCompileLink compile error "==" was unexpected at this time

[dostaji4]

Dear developers, I've been trying to use your utility but ran into problems I'm not able to solve. Running on Win 10 64bit, Python 2.7, VS 14.0, I've succesfully got 64 as an answer out of the test-c-exe.bat (either using Dev. Commnad Prompt or changing the paths in batch scripts to VC 14.0). From there I've continued the Guide, but got stuck at invoking the EnergyPlusToFMU.py, specifically in the compilation phase. When I tried to compile all the c and cpp files alone, it compiled them. There might be an issue in the utilManageCompileLink script? IDK. Anyway, thank you for any suggestions.

Thank you, Jiri

Here is the diagnostic output:

UPDATE: The same issue pertains across all releases, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, EP8.x, 32bit or 64bit, Visual Studio 10.

SOLUTION: The error was in the batch files. Replace all IF "%1"=="" with IF -%1-==-- and it should work. JD.
