     NMAKE Fatal Error U1004
 
     syntax error : macro name missing
 
     One of the following occurred:
 
        ■ The name of a macro being defined was itself a macro
          invocation that expanded to nothing. For example, if the
          macro named ONE is undefined or has a null value, the
          following macro definition causes this error:
 
               $(ONE)=TWO
 
        ■ A macro invocation did not specify a name in the parentheses.
          The following specification causes this error:
 
               $()
 
          The correct form is:
 
               $(name)
                                    -♦-
