I don't know how you guys develop or release ReactOS, but I have never gotten a single release to compile cleanly.
First I tried 0.2.6, and I had to edit GCC inline assembly to get it to compile, and use various hacks to get it to work.
Last night I tried 0.2.7, which I had to force to compile with multiple declarations (by editing C++ files in tools/rbuild to disable the -Werror flag), force to link by 'make VERBOSE=full' and then manually copying the command line and adding 'obj-i386/hal/hal/libhal.a', and then after a few more hours, ntoskrnl.exe would not link (several thousand missing symbols).
I'm gonna get 0.2.8 now and try again, with the Windows version of mingw (been using Linux so far). Just in case, would someone explain to me how you guys get it to compile? And how do you expect anyone to develop an OS that is practically uncompilable?

Defintely not with this kind of agressive attitude due to your own ...difficulty... in setting up a tried and proven build system which is used by over 100 developers and testers, with ample documentation, step-by-step instructions, build scripts and installers, all available on the Wiki (which you probably never bothered to check)

I've been compiling the latest SVN every week for almost two months now... there's been very few times that it wouldn't compile, but usually waiting an hour and re-checkingout the SVN "fixes" it <_< (sorry, I'm not that experienced with coding, especially an operating system; when I can fix it myself and submit patches, I will, but it seems to be working out with you guys)
