Problems in Build Tutorial

[JasonQSY]

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.

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

Are they outdated?

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.

On Windows, the output directory is `output-${BUILD_ENVIRONMENT}-${ARCH}`.

On Linux, it is `output-${BUILD_ENVIRONMENT}-${ARCH}/reactos`.

This is because configure.sh will always make and use the `reactos` folder.
Windows only makes it if NEW_STYLE_BUILD=0.

See configure.sh and configure.cmd

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.
