That's the problem probably. When you use
MSYS,
"make" will use its shell
program to execute subcommands. The shell doesn't
understand backslashes.
Remove MSYS and CygWin from your path and try again.
Gé van Geldorp.
The backlslash problem can be easily solved by editing
the Makefile. Line 230: SEP = \$(ROS_EMPTY);
replace it with SEP = /$(ROS_EMPTY). MinGW, MSYS and
perhaps even Windows itself understand using / instead
of \.
That's not a solution, it's a nasty hack!
Then the build process works until using
Makfile.auto is used. I think replacing / with \ in
Makefile.auto in MinGW on Windows is coded in the
rbuild sources.
This is senseless as I wrote above.
You couldn't be further from the truth. It actually makes a great deal of
sense.
Please remove these lines because then, I will be
able
to build the other parts of ReactOS, too. If you don't
want to change the files in SVN-Repository first,
please send the changed sources to me per e-mail.
The rbuild code is fine, it's your environment which is wrong.
Listen to what Ge is telling you!
