I build fossil in cmd.exe on vista regularly..I have also managed to get ssh,git,perl + many other non windows friendly packages to work "natively"I do have mingw+msys installed, but the biggest hassle was a lot of time getting the PATH environment right.. especially the order of the paths, so that things cascade through the various versions of different utils (especially ssh)for a while i had some custom edits to the makefile.w32, but the latest version from trunk now works fine as is..On 8/07/2010 7:38 AM, Ross Berteig wrote:> At 03:34 AM 7/7/2010, Paul Ruizendaal wrote:> >....
