Re: [ros-dev] Problems in Build Tutorial

[David Quintana (gigaherz)]

Also, the output-blah-blah folder is only used if you run the configure
command right on the sources folder. I prefer to have dedicated build
output folders.

My reactos development setup looks like:

F:\reactos\
rosbe\
sources\
build\
mingw-x86-ninja
vs14-x86-msbuild
vs14-x86-ninja
...

So in my case, I 'cd' to build\<whatever>\ and in it run
..\..\sources\configure.cmd from there.

I also use my own custom build scripts, to automate the task completely,
but that's beside the point.
