ReactOS compilation errors (fixed)

[Damjan Jovanovic]

Do you guys actually try to compile the release
versions of ReactOS? Version 0.2.8-REL doesn't
compile:

1. Need to "copy lib/msafd/msafd.h lib/msafd/include",
otherwise you get:

[CC]       lib/msafd/misc/dllmain.c
lib/msafd/misc/dllmain.c:13:19: msafd.h: No such file
or directory

2. Need to comment out "-Werror", otherwise thousands
of these warnings become errors:

In file included from include/ndk/kefuncs.h:13,
                 from include/ndk/ntndk.h:31,
                 from hal/hal/hal.c:15:
include/ndk/ketypes.h:295: warning: redefinition of
`PKINTERRUPT'
w32api/include/ddk/winddk.h:205: warning:

from include/ndk/cmtypes.h:15,
                 from include/ndk/extypes.h:19,

                 from include/ndk/psfuncs.h:13,
                 from include/ndk/ntndk.h:34,
                 from hal/hal/hal.c:15:
include/ndk/iotypes.h:562: warning: redefinition of
`PIO_TIMER'
w32api/include/ddk/winddk.h:201: warning: `PIO_TIMER'
previously declared here

3. Doesn't link under Linux, binutils 2.14.90, it
needs to be severely hacked to link, and then crashes
when booted.

No, we just do some magic chants and poof, the .iso appears.

2.14.90 is seriously old and contains some bugs which prevent ReactOS from
building correctly. I'm using MinGW binutils 2.15.94 and MinGW gcc 3.4.2 on
Linux, works without a hitch.

Then how come I am getting the errors I described and
you're not? I built it with the standard build
environment.

Why isn't that documented anywhere?

It used to be noted under "HOWTO/setup a build environment" on Wiki but 
it seems someone has removed this note...

Probably everyone who build on Linux did the same as you
are about to do now when they figured it out. NOT document it.
