RosBE 1.4.2 available, update highly recommended!

[Colin Finck]

Hi everybody,

Daniel and I just released the new version 1.4.2 of the ReactOS Build
Environment for Windows and Unix.

The most important part of this release is the addition of some environment
variables containing the include directories of the host and target
compilers as compiler flags.
These variables might be required by rbuild in the near future, so the
update to the new version is highly recommended.

Besides, the GCC in RosBE-Windows 1.4.2 is now compiled for i686 or later
CPUs, decreasing the compilation time by 5 minutes for Daniel. Hopefully
another reason to make the update more attractive ;-)

As always, you can get the latest release from
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6553

Best regards,

Colin

Okay, apparently I wasn't allowed to have this in my PATH:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Utilities\Bin\x86"

I don't need it, so I can just remove it, but someone might want to
investigate why you can't have ()'s in your PATH variable.

This causes quite some problems on XP x64 edition. I have some 
directories containing \Program Files (x86)\ in my path, so RosBE won't 
start correctly. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Try this script: http://dreimer.dr.funpic.org/rosbe/fix.7z

A bug in Daniel's stuff got exposed by Colin's work and they're trying to
fix it.  See if that works.

I've spent a couple of minutes trying to get RosBE going again here. I'm
using Vista 64, so I have a similar issue with the (x86) in my paths.
It looks like editing a few of the RosBE cmd files and adding quotes around
any place the %PATH% variable at least partially solves the problem. I added
quotes around the following to get the RosBE window up and running:

rosbe-gcc-env.cmd:23
- set _ROSBE_ORIGINALPATH=%PATH%
+ set _ROSBE_ORIGINALPATH="%PATH%"

rosbe-gcc-env.cmd:73
- set
PATH=%_ROSBE_HOST_MINGWPATH%\bin;%_ROSBE_TARGET_MINGWPATH%\bin;%_ROSBE_ORIGINALPATH%
+ set
PATH="%_ROSBE_HOST_MINGWPATH%\bin;%_ROSBE_TARGET_MINGWPATH%\bin;%_ROSBE_ORIGINALPATH%"

This might be a good place to start. I still can't get ROS to build due to
ccache errors (maybe they are related?), but at least the environment and
makex seem to work after this fix.
