Are there any build changes for Hotspot that need to be forwarded into the central Mercurial repos? I tried building with *just* the FrameworkSDK compiler (just to see if I even need the VC Express tool), and I'm erroring out on some 0-length generated .cpp files. I'm guessing the Hotspot team had to hit this problem as well....
For those unfamiliar with the difference, the Platform SDK contains the command-line compiler tools for the Windows platform, as well as all the Windows platform-specific header files (a la windows.h). Theoretically, we *should* be able to build with just the Platform SDK, since it'll be a superset of the headers and libraries included in VC Express (as far as I can tell, anyway). Once this gets done, technically the Challenge would be complete, since nobody was expecting to port away from the Makefiles over to MSBuild (and VC Express doesn't even use MSBuild, it uses its own "VCBuild" tool), and you'd still need the GNU make to execute the builds. Thus, the only advantage of having VC Express would be the IDE (the editor, really), and even then you'd want/need to shell out to run the make scripts anyway. :-) There may be a few changes (I've found one so far, having to add _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to the command-line compile to avoid warnings about using the "unsafe" versions of the C string functions, since right now the build says to treat warnings as errors), but so far it's been pretty minimal. Kelly, in the event I have changes to make, can I just detail them to you in an email, or should I do formal diffs and/or set up a Mercurial repo?
