problems building feature release on windows

[Kelly F. Hickel]

Hi,

            I've been trying for the last day or so to build the feature
release on windows (so that I can use Rational purify & quantify to look
at some other issue).  I've had no luck at all.  I've tried 1.12.12,
1.12.13 and the tip of the trunk.  I've used VS .Net 2003 and VS .net
2005.  I've tried cvsnt.mak and cvsnt.dsp.

 

 

The .dsp/.dsw files won't load into either version of VS .net that I
have, it reports that the project files are corrupt.

 

When I use the .mak files, I can get it to build if I add code for some
of the wide character stuff (btowc, mbrtowc and wctype) which don't seem
to be supplied.  When I do that the resulting .exe seems to work but
doesn't actually do anything with any of the files in the directories of
the repo.  So, if I do a co, I get all the directories and CVS
directories, but no files.

 

This stuff must build, right? I can download binaries that work fine, so
someone must have built it......
