Nick and coderman, thank you for your responding. I downloaded the 0.2.1.10-alpha source tarball again and configure it and make it. It succeeded this time. It's running normally as a client now. And then I come back to the first tarball I've downloaded a few days ago, re- configure it and make it again, also succeed this time. I just don't know how could this happen.
The compiling is totally according to the instructions for building Tor from tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt in the 'doc' file. But it's from 0.1.2.19 source tarball. I've compared this instructions with the new ones from the new source version(say 0.2.1.10-alpha). No big differences except the versions: I use MinGW-5.1.3.exe, openssl- 0.9.8g.tar.gz and libevent 1.3e. I'm wondering if I should change the versions later. But the compiling did succeed with those older versions. It seems it's not affected. The config.log is rewritten since I reconfigured it. So I'm afraid I have lost the script before the successful compiling now. At last, here's a question which confuse me for a long long time. Everytime when my PC is running as a relay, even for a little while, I cannot reach any web pages later. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the PC itself. The configuration is as follows: Pentium 4 CPU 2.93GHz, 502MB RAM, Windows XP Professional(version 2002) Service Pack 3 the bandwidth limits and the exit policies for my relay are both default in Vidalia, that is >1.5Mbps.
