reactos: uncompilable

[Damjan Jovanovic]

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)
