Installerfw - error: Invalid macro invocation found in (...)installer-framework\src\sdk\translations\Makefile.Debug line 62

Hello,

I am trying to build the installer framework from https://code.qt.io/installer-framework/installer-framework.git.

I have made it on Ubuntu 18.04, by cloning the git code, applying recommended patch, running qmake and make. I created successfully an installation file. All good.

On windows 10, when I try to build the project I get :

"Invalid macro invocation found in (...)\installer-framework\src\sdk\translations\Makefile.Debug line 62"

"Invalid macro invocation found in (...)\installer-framework\src\libs\7zip\Makefile.Debug line 591"

If I go to file 7zip\Makefile.Debug, for example, the code around line 591 looks like this:

"{win\CPP\Windows}.cpp{debug}.obj::

$(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -Fodebug\ @<<

$<

<<"

I cannot see anything wrong, as the code is similar to other Makefiles of other projects I have.

If I try to run nmake manually I get:

"Makefile.Debug(14) : fatal error U1001: syntax error : illegal character '"' in macro"

I tried to change " into ' , tried to escape the character, but until now nothing worked.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
