Yes -- the stinking file separator, the spaces in the names, trying to live without bash, the multiple different ways of specifying environment variables... However, we have to cope; windows users are tres important. > > 2) I think what you really want to do is make the compiler a > separate product (or jar).

That's one of the strategies I'm interested in -- it's figuring out the dependencies that's hell. Did you know there's some use of oro in there? I imagine it's in a code path that never gets exercised, so we never get the class-not-found error that I'm seeing when I try to build a standalone compiler ant task. But, this is just background stuff, for now. Maybe next time you're out here we can tear through it together. _______________________________________________ Laszlo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-dev
