The instructions look fine.

The way I build ReactOS is as follows:

1) Create a new folder called reactos-source at C:\

2) Download and install RosBE and set my source path in the installer to C:\reactos-source

3) Using TortoiseSVN, check out just the main source to C:\reactos-source

4) Launch RosBE so I'm in C:\reactos-source

5) Run configure.cmd

6) Run cd output-MinGW-i386

7) ninja bootcd

8) Out pops a bootcd.iso in C:\reactos-source\output-MinGW-i386

I've done it that way for the past 2 years and never have had an issue.

Subject: [ros-dev] Problems in Build Tutorial

 

Hi,

I’m a newcomer to ros-dev and currently try to build reactos. It is ok for me but I think there might be slight problems in the tutorial.

> cd output-MinGW-i386

I think it maybe cd output-MinGW-i386/reactos . Running `ninja` under `output-MinGW-i386` fails.

> generates a bootable ReactOS ISO file (bootcd.iso) placed into the output directory

I find `bootcd.iso` under `reactos` instead of `reactos/output`.

Are they outdated?
